:סוטה ט



"מי גדול ממשה שלא נתעסק בו אלא המקום, שנאמר ויקבר אותו בגיא, לא על משה בלבד אמרו אלא
על כל הצדיקים, שנאמר והלך לפניך צדקך כבוד ה' יאספך"

Remember this post?, I guess the Rebbe Rashab considered the Baal Shem Tov one of those Tzaddikim.

So why then is it a Chiddush by the Baal Shem Tov davke?

Here's a question for ya:

Are latter-day Tzaddikim comprable to early-day Tzaddikim? How far does the comparision go? Rishonim? Gaonim? Tannaim? Neviim? Moshe Rabbeinu?

well,

has the definition of "tzaddik" changed? why should it be any different then?

HT,
Have you thought much about this?
Lets consider:
Let's take the AR's definition of Tzaddik (No Y"H), and agree that that definition hasen't changed - but, does that include Ruach Hakodesh? Based on the AR, Tzaddik is a madreiga, but what that comes with should be considered...
Do Tzaddikim make mistakes?
Are Tzaddikim all-knowing
Are Tzaddikim angel-like in there powers?

ec

why should ruach hakodesh decide on a man's tzidkus, if it goes with the territory then every Tzaddik has it anyway, and if not then is it necessary?
