Thousands of people want to learn more Chassidus but struggle to fit it into a busy day. A growing WhatsApp shiur is changing that by delivering just 15 minutes of the Rebbe’s Chassidus every weekday morning—attracting listeners from around the world.

What started as a small WhatsApp call for a handful of people in Detroit has quietly grown into a worldwide daily shiur with listeners tuning in from Florida, New York, Chile, and beyond.

Known as “15 Min Chassidus”, new episodes drop on weekday mornings (Monday – Friday) at 6:45 AM with the recording available shortly after the shiur debuts.

Every morning as he heads to work, Mendy R. listens to a 15-minute Chassidus shiur during his commute from Crown Heights. By the time he arrives, he’s already learned part of a maamar together with the people in his carpool. He enjoys the shiur so much that he recently dedicated an episode sponsorship.

Taught by Rabbi Yerachmiel Rabin, the shiur has quickly gained a loyal following thanks to its accessible 15-minute format and clear, engaging approach. Rabbi Rabin blends rich background, deep Chassidic ideas, and practical insight—all delivered in simple English. The result is a shiur that is both thought-provoking and easy to follow, making it enjoyable for beginners and seasoned learners alike.

The shiur helps people fulfill the Rebbe’s directive of learning Chassidus each day “even a brief session” which then has an impact on the rest of the day. ¹

Shimon Betesh, who tunes in from Bay Harbor, FL said he enjoys the class because “It’s filled with depth, meaning, and introspection. It’s a great way to start my day!”

Men and women are fitting it into their schedules as they go to shul or school, on their daily commute, and during workouts.

When asked where his passion came from, Rabbi Rabin explained, “In my bochur years, I had the privilege of learning under the renowned chossid Reb Yoel Kahan. He not only taught me Chassidus, but also how to learn Chassidus. The foundation he gave me continues to drive me close to fifty years later.”

Dr Shimon Roth of Detroit, MI shared how much he loves the shiur: “I’ve been a participant in Rabbi Rabin’s 15-minute Chassidus shiur for more than 1 year. I look forward to the shiur every morning because of the fresh and novel insights that are presented, which have deepened my understanding and appreciation of Torah”.

The shiur currently focuses on the Rebbe’s Maamorei Melukat—discourses personally reviewed and edited by the Rebbe. These foundational maamarim give listeners direct access to some of the central teachings of 7th generation chassdius “Dor Hashvi’i”.

Rabbi Rabin curates the Maamar connected to the season, for example before Gimmel Tamuz, the group studied “Vata Tezavhe”, the last Maamar the Rebbe published.

In addition to gaining knowledge, some listeners are even sharing what they learn with family members, repeating it at their local shul or as a Dvar Torah on Shabbos.

The group covered 4 maamarim already with over 60 daily episodes now available. Episodes are added into a playlist, making it easy to “binge learn” the whole maamar after it’s complete.

Coinciding with his 70th birthday this week KA’H, Rabbi Rabin shared that he has no plans to slow down. Alongside the daily Chassidus shiur, he teaches a weekly interactive Tanya class on Zoom and is developing new learning initiatives, including audio recordings of classic chassidic stories.

Whether you’ve never opened a maamar before or have been learning Chassidus for decades, these daily 15-minute shiurim offer a practical way to connect with the Rebbe’s teachings—one morning at a time.

Every weekday brings a new lesson, and each series includes recaps so you can still jump in at any point.
