The Attainable Goal of Becoming a Tzadik: A Jewish Perspective Missing in Christianity

The Attainable Goal of Becoming a Tzadik: A Jewish Perspective Missing in ChristianityBy: George Bakalov Published on: 29/06/2025

The Hebrew word tzadik (צַדִּיק), derived from the root ṣāḏaq meaning "to be straight" or "cleanse," appears 206 times in the Hebrew Bible, often translated as "righteous" or "just." The first person explicitly called a tzadik is Noah, described in Genesis 6:9 as "a just man and perfect in his generations" who "walked with God." Notably, Noah’s righteousness predates the giving of the Torah, suggesting that being a tzadik is a universal human potential, not confined to specific laws or rituals. Noah’s life demonstrates that righteousness involves aligning one’s actions with God’s will, even in a corrupt world.

The Threefold Life: Faith, Liberty, and Charity

The Threefold Life: Faith, Liberty, and Charity By: George Bakalov Published on: 29/06/2025

In our pursuit of a vibrant spiritual life, it’s tempting to focus on just one aspect—perhaps preaching God’s word, standing against tyranny, or serving others through charity. Yet, the true life of faith, the life of someone who knows God and seeks first His kingdom, revolves around three powerful dynamics: faith, liberty, and charity. These three, like a threefold cord, are not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Together, they form the essence of the Threefold Life—a dynamic way to advance God’s kingdom on Earth by spreading His truth within our circles of influence, advocating for liberty, and transforming lives through acts of love.
