Tzadik is also the root of the word tzedakah ('charity', literally 'righteousness'). The term tzadik "righteous", and its associated meanings, developed in Rabbinic thought from its Talmudic contrast with hasid ("pious" honorific), to its exploration in Ethical literature, and its esoteric spiritualisation in Kabbalah. Since the late 17th century, in Hasidic Judaism, the institution of the mystical tzadik as a divine channel assumed central importance, combining popularization of (hands- on) Jewish mysticism with social movement for the first time.[1] Adapting former Kabbalistic theosophical terminology, Hasidic thought internalised mystical Joseph interprets Pharaoh's Dream experience, emphasising deveikut attachment to its Rebbe leadership, who embody (Genesis 41:15–41).

  • A Face to Believe in Contemporary Pictorial Images of Orthodox Rasbis and What They Represent
    A Face to Believe In Contemporary Pictorial Images of Orthodox RaSbis and What They Represent Samuel C. Heilman It is precisely here that "invisible nature" becomes in a spe- cial way visible, incomparably more visible than through all the other things that have been made. Pope John Paul 11, Dives in Misevicordia, $2 Drawing on a customary interpretation of the demands of the bihli- cal prohibition against "graven images," there is among Orthodox Jews, and particularly the haredi variant of Orthodoxy, a long tradi- tion of not making use of human images. In a residue of this atti- tude, one can still find haredi Orthodox Jews who shy away from having their photo taken. Nevertheless, likenesses of rabbis and holy men have over the years increasingly made their way into the realm of the permissible, especially in the realm of popular culture, where the visual plays a large and increasingly important role.' Such images appear ever more often in a variety of contemporary posters, paintings, and other visual collectibles accepted and even endorsed by the Orthodox (including the haredi) Jewish population. They are to be seen everywhere, from the walls of private homes or syna- gogues and yeshiva study halls, to the decorations in the sukkah, on bumper stickers, and even on cards and stickers to be packed in a wallet or affixed to a car's dashboard. Young Orthodox children have taken to collecting and trading "rebbe cards" and stickers that they glue into a seemingly endless array of albums. Kiosks, Jewish bookstores, and even photo shops in Orthodox neighborhoods often 1.

  • Y-DNA Research Studies of Rabbinical Lineages and Their Importance to Jewish Genealogy
    Y-DNA Research Studies of Rabbinical Lineages and Their Importance to Jewish Genealogy by Dr. Jeffrey Mark Paull Abstract For centuries, Jews have sought their yichus by connecting themselves to rabbinical families, either through marriage or by a paper trail. Thanks to recent advances in genetic genealogy and DNA technology, this is now possible to do for many more individuals of Jewish descent than ever before. For a little over ten years now, my research team and I have been conducting Y-DNA research studies which utilize both traditional genealogical and current DNA methods and technology to identify the unique Y-DNA genetic signature and ethnic origin of some of the world’s most esteemed and historically significant rabbinical lineages and dynasties. These include the Katzenellenbogen,1 Lurie, Polonsky,2, 3 Rappaport-Cohen, and Shapiro4 rabbinical lineages, and the Twersky5 and Wertheim-Giterman Chassidic dynasties.6 We have also conducted Y-DNA research studies on lineages descending from such luminaries and tzaddiks7 as the Baal Shem Tov, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, Rabbi Naftula Cohen of Belaya Tzerkov, Rabbi Raphael of Bershad,8 Rabbi Yechiel Michel of Zlatchov, Rabbi Yehuda Heller-Kahana of Sighet, and the Shpoler Zeida.9 The goal of our rabbinical heritage Y-DNA research studies is to identify the Y-DNA genetic signatures of some of Jewry’s most renowned tzaddiks and rabbinical families. We accomplish this by finding and testing pedigreed patrilineal descendants of these rabbinical families; if their Y-DNA genetically matches, it confirms their paper trail and provides the unique Y-DNA genetic signature for their lineage.
