More often, it is the disciples who speculate.

If you were you wouldn’t say so.

He died in 2006 without publishing another book about the Holocaust. The Lamed Vavniks live morally pure lives in the simple, humble walks, hiding in plain sight as tailors, cobblers, carpenters. These were not simply tzadikah—righteous women—but they also fulfilled the mission of a Lamed Vovnik, for they literally held the fate of their world upon their shoulders.

Esther, through her selfless bravery, saved an entire nation from destruction. According to some versions of the story, they themselves may not know who they are. Thirty-Six is a multi-author religious speculative fiction series that explores the mysterious Jewish legend of the Lamed Vovniks—Thirty-Six Hidden Righteous who tip the balance of a suffering world on the brink of collapse toward protection, preservation, and prosperity. And as he expressed astonishment to his father, to his mother, to his brothers with their ever-dreamy eyes, wonderfully warm and loving, the ashes of evil also claimed the humans, one after the other, reducing the tablecloth to dust, the glasses, the plates, the knives and forks and spoons, the chairs, doors and windows, and the house and the trees, the mountain, the plain in the distance and the clouds, the whole wide world, right up to the invisible stars. Later that day a cousin from New York called. Three times in my life, for example, I’ve been wakened by violent earth-shaking. In our folk tales, they emerge from their self-imposed concealment and, by the mystic powers, which they possess, they succeed in averting the threatened disasters of a people persecuted by the enemies that surround them.

In fact, tradition has it that should a person claim to be one of the 36, that is proof positive that they are certainly not one.
