The Tzaddik Nistar

Toras Avigdor | June 25, 2025

Now, I’ll add one more thing; not only tzaddikim mefursamim, famous tzaddikim. There are very many hidden tzaddikim too. Here’s a man – I know him – when it’s slippery outside, so he has a little bag in his pocket; he walks down the block and puts his hand in the bag and he scatters sawdust so that people shouldn’t slip. Not only on his own sidewalk; on the public sidewalks. He’s concerned about the welfare of the Am Yisroel. It’s a frum Jewish neighborhood and someone might go to the hospital as a result of a slippery sidewalk. He looks like a simple man, very unassuming. But he’s a tzaddik; he’s concerned for his fellow Jews.

There's another tzaddik in my mind, a woman. She has a big family of children and she teaches girls how to be frum. She teaches them and she inspires them. What a great accomplishment that is! That woman is a tzidkanis of the madreigah rishonah, a tremendous accomplishment.
