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: Георги Бакалов 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."

Noah’s life demonstrates that righteousness involves aligning one’s actions with God’s will, even in a corrupt world.
