45th Annual Jewish Book Fair
Celebrating Our Sapphire Anniversary 1951-1996
Thursday, November 14

Abraham's goodness, mercy
and love of his fellow man even
induced him to challenge God,
Himself, to spare the absolutely
wicked people of Sodom—what a
contrast to Noah!
Abraham was well aware of
the real challenge to the truly
righteous and is quoted by his
trusted slave referring to God as:
"the one whom I go before" (Gen-
esis 24:40).
Likewise Jacob in blessing
Joseph says (Genesos 48:15): "...
the God whom my fathers Abra-
ham and Isaac went before ..."
The progenitors of the Jewish
People knew the difference be-
tween the real tzadik (righteous
one) and the relative tzadik. The
real tzadik with every passing
moment and breath in his life
continually pursues true right-
eousness and real piety by push-
ing himself to improve his
relationship with his fellow
man—all men—and with the Di-
vine.
The relative tzadik is self-sat-
isfied and content that his be-
havior is better than that of those
around him, but this very con-
tempt of others in itself belies his
righteousness and piety. 111
