On Shabbos Parshas Vayakhel [[5725]] (1965), following the appearance of the new edition of ''Likkutei Torah'', the Rebbe called on Chassidim to study the entire ''Chassidishe Parsha'' — the discourses from ''Likkutei Torah'' and ''Torah Ohr'' relating to the weekly portion — every Shabbos. He returned to the theme at several subsequent farbrengens and asked those who had already taken up the practice to say ''L'chaim''.
