«Rebbe Nachman once said, "The world labors under the misconception that a tzaddik cannot make a mistake.
I say this is not so. A tzaddik can make a mistake. The mistake remains a mistake and the tzaddik remains tzaddik."»
«Yes. Even the most learned of scholars, people of the most refined character and of genuine spirituality -
100% dyed-in-the-wool tzaddikim - can make mistakes. Not only simple, personal mistakes, but even
mistakes that affect the entire Jewish people, even mistakes of heresy (1:5). The mistakes remain mistakes and they remain tzaddikim.»
