Taanis 4 – How Do I Know Which Tzaddik to Follow? Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
QUESTION: How do I know who is a true tzaddik and how can I decide which one to follow?
RESPONSE: Because the tzaddikim are hidden, praying for aitza tova is the best way to be able to find and obtain counsel from a true tzaddik. A powerful tefilah for this is in the siddur when we say (in Maariv and Kriyas Shema al HaMitah): ותקננו בעצה טובה מלפניך “Vesakneynu beAitza tova milfanecha” – “Establish us through good counsel.”
