The Tzaddik

The Tax of the Righteous I like this Daily Dose, especially because it hints that both the evil and the wicked person have a spark of goodness within. I recall reading that in the age of Moshiach, “Those who are wicked won’t want to live.” However, I like this wisdom better because it recognizes that there exists some goodness within everything, such that especially Moshiach and the tzadiks are to be taxed with the duty of redeeming lost souls. For them, the army of the righteous, this is why they were created, to go from strength to strength in the joy of healing all creation, such that those who were at some time deemed evil or wicked will become righteous, according to the glory of Hashem.

TANYA In Tanya, it states that a Tzaddik is rare and a special gift from the L-rd, other mortals may strive to be a beinoni. Reply

inside of us Inside of all of us is also a korach Reply

Tzaddik Forgive me if I'm wrong or missed the point, but I thought that none of us were Tzaddik's. Even the one of our Greatest Rabbi's would tell you that He is no Taddik. Does not the Tanys teach us this? I have done Chevra Kidisha for eight years now. I give people rides to the Dr.'s appt and to various grocery stores. I started a Friday Night Service where I live and after a year and half it's going Great ! But I would never consider myself with such a high degree.
Don't think Moses worried about being a Tzaddik, to him it was about Humbleness, For when he lost his temper Eziekel had to explain the laws because he lost his temper, and we know when we looose our temper we loose our wisdom! So if you want of fight with yourself about being a Tzaddik go right a head. I perfer staying humble, keeps more grounded,
PS how about gettting spell check going fella's , some of us need a little help too.
Be Well , I hope some got my point Tikkum Alom. That's what maters not our egoooo's Reply

The Tzaddik Very beautiful, true and deep... Reply

Love and One With G-d We are all within tzadik with One G-d. In other words, We learned from his observations and Commandments with One G-d with the devotion; Love and One With G-d. Reply

The Tzaddik So, in other words, when he goes against the Tzaddik, he's really going against that part in himself who is a Tzaddik. And, not even talking about going against, but when he simply doesn't value the Tzaddik, he's not valuing that part of himself.
When he values a "regular" person, he's valuing that part in himself, and when not valuing that person, he's not seeing the good parts in himself. Reply

Yosef HaTzaddik Yosef is the only one in the Torah was called HaTzaddik. Yet we find that Yosef made mistakes, and struggled, yet overcame his inclination, but is not that he had _NO_ such impulses.

By the way this is a phenomenal pearl of wisdom by written by Tzvi Freeman... If we look at people, and look for the Tzaddik within them... we can _PULL_ the Tzaddik to the surface. Reply

most pretentious & pious Tzaddik ;also fallible. "Tzaddik, The: A wholly righteous person. In the context of Chabad literature, one who has conquered his animal impulses and is filled entirely with love and reverence for G-d." One is either righteous or not, not sometimes without sin. Reply

Not always When I look at it this way,
then even I am a Tzaddik.
Most of the time.
Unfortunately not always !!! Reply
