Tzadikim (‘the righteous’)

Some of the questions we will consider as we learn about the 13th blessing of the Amida (Shemoneh Esrei):

  • What is the difference between the pious, the elders and the remnant of the scholars?
  • Why are converts explicitly mentioned – are they not included in the other categories of righteous?
  • If we are praying for the righteous, why do we include ourselves?
