| Notes: Lina means lodging [for the night] and Tzedek means justice. The combination Linat Tzedek refers to a hostel or boarding house to serve the poor sick --or poor passers-by needing temporary lodging-- for free. The term is taken from Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 1:21: צדק ילין בה --righteousness lodged in it, and suggests a return to high ethical standards of earlier times. The Yizkor Book for Radomsk, one of the oldest documented Jewish communities in Eastern Europe, describes the Jewish custom of Bikur Kholim -- visiting the sick -- and how Linat Tzedek grew in Radomsk at the end of the 19th century. This traditional model of caring for the sick and needy was known and built-upon in Israel, according to this book. Read this account (about 10 paragraphs down) of a contemporary Linat Tzedek in nearby Kamenets. Administrator: the original word in Yiddish is farvolter. |
