Tzadikkim

Why connect to the Tzadikkim?

Kabbalah teaches us that when a righteous person, a Tzadik, passes away, his soul ascends to heaven but a small part of his low level of the soul stays in the burial site. This place is called ‘Tziyoon’, which means ‘a mark’. The burial place of a Tzadik is a spiritual mark which channels to the upper levels. Because of that, we can use the Tzadik and his merits as a chariot for our prayers.
Rabbi Chaim Vital, the main student of the Holy Ari, writes in the book “Gate of reincarnation”, “Shaar HaGilgulim”. "It is good to visit the graves of Tzadikim and pray there”. Prayers at the Tziyoon (marked place) of a Tzadik is received better in Heaven; because the merit of the Tzadik helps elevate our prayers.
Rabbi Avraham Azulai in his book Chessed L’Avraham tells us that looking on holy things, adds power to our souls.
Times to Connect
The best days to visit Tzadikim, is on the 15th and the 29th day of the Hebrew month. This is the time that the soul of the Tzadik is in full presence at the site.
How To Connect
We recite one line of the Ana B'Koach 7 times. With this process we create elevation that helps us connect to the Tzadik.
After that, we recite Psalms 29 that mentions seven ‘voices’. It creates another level of elevation, and now we are ready to make connection to the Tzadik.
We Light candles dedicated to the Tzadik and offer our prayers
A Tzadik is a person that became a great channel of Light and helped many people during his reincarnations. The Zohar teaches us that when a Tzadik decrees, God fulfill his words. All fulfillments come from God, and the Tzadik is just a channel.
We should not pray or ask the Tzadik directly to perform miracles for us. It is idol worshipping and forbidden. Unfortunately many people make this mistake and since the individual prayers are silent no one corrects them. The proper way, is to pray to God and ask him to answer your prayers by the merits of the Tzadik
Tzadikkim Nistarim
The Tzadikim Nistarim (Hebrew: צדיקים נסתרים�, "hidden righteous ones") or Lamed Vav Tzadikim(Hebrew:לו צדיקים - "the 36 righteous ones"), often abbreviated to Lamed Vav(niks),[a] refers to 36 righteous people, a notion rooted within the more mystical dimensions of Judaism. The singular form isTzadik Nistar (Hebrew: צדיק נסתר).
The source is the Talmud itself, which explains it as follows:
As a mystical concept, the number 36 is even more intriguing. It is said that at all times there are 36 special people in the world, and that were it not for them, all of them, if even one of them was missing; then the world would come to an end. The two Hebrew letters for 36 are the lamed, which is 30, and the vav, which is 6. Therefore, these 36 are referred to as the Lamed-Vav Tzadikim. This widely-held belief, this most unusual Jewish concept is based on a Talmudic statement to the effect that in every generation, 36 righteous "greet the Shechinah," the Divine Presence (Tractate Sanhedrin 97b; Tractate Sukkah 45b).[1]

As followers of Melek HaMoshiach Yeshua Rebbeinu, we esteem him as the Tzadik of Tzadikkim, when we connect with him we do with all Tzadikkim in him and we approach Elohim based on the Merits of his life, death and priestly ministry in heaven on our behalf with perfect faith that Elohim hears us when we call on him in the name of Yeshua Rebbeinu.
