The Attainable Goal of Becoming a Tzadik: A Jewish Perspective Missing in Christianity
By: George Bakalov Published on: 29/06/2025The 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 True History of the Christmas Truce During World War I
By: George Bakalov Published on: 29/12/2021The Christmas Truce was a series of unofficial armistices on the Western Front of World War I on Christmas Even in 1914. The armistice took place five months after hostilities began. In the week before 25 December, French, German and British soldiers crossed the trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and to talk. In some areas, men from both sides entered so-called No Man’s Land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint funeral ceremonies for recently killed soldiers and prisoner exchanges, and several meetings ended with the singing of Christmas carols. The men played football games with each other, creating one of the most memorable moments of the Armistice.
In 300 Words: Born To Testify Of The Truth
By: George Bakalov Published on: 17/06/2021Let’s face it, the Christianity of the developed world has failed to win the hearts and the minds of the people of the Western civilization.
