Aim To Be A Tzadik
As I walk through the services of today I often hear, "don't aim to be a Tzadik, you'll never reach it," and "just try to do what you can. Its too much pressure for anyone and unrealistic." One Rabbi who would want to remain anonymous even told me, "we are so far from the Torah today that we couldn't begin to understand its meanings." My heart genuinely ached in that moment and I wondered who hurt him so deeply? I later replied in text message, because that's what we do these days we text the Rabbi, "The Torah is eternal as is It's truths." It is not the individual who is not capable of understanding the Torah and with the tradition of controlling the individual through societal norms and shaming ending; now is the perfect time to aim to be a Tzadik.
