1. The Meaning of Tsade Tzadl 6) got its name from the shape of a "fishing hook" or perhaps a bird trap, which is related to the root tzod meaning "to hunt, catch, capture." Notice that the letter itself is formed from a bent Nun and a Vav. The Nun represents a humble and faithful servant (the crowned Vav) that is bent in submission.* The Yod represents a hand lifted to heaven, or the Spirit of God. The tzaddik - the righteous person - is therefore revealed in the letter form as a faithful servant with his arms raised before the LORD in humility. As such, some of the sages have said that the letter Tsade represents the tzaddlkim (righteous ones) that are the yesod (foundation) of the earth:
2. the tzaddik is said to reflect the divine image (b'tzselem elohim) when he or she lives In humility and dependence upon Him for the ability to live in trusting obedience to His will.
3. Other words that suggest a connection between obedience and righteousness are tzedek (righteous) and tzedakah (righteous deeds, righteousness). Just as the melakhim (angels) are God's messengers in heaven, so the tzaddikim are said to be God's messengers upon the earth.
4. The Mate of Aleph Connected with the tzimtzum idea of Rabbi Luria is the view that Tsade is the "mate" of the letter Aleph. This is seen somewhat in the letter forms themselves, and suggests that God and His redeemed creation (His tzaddikim) would be joined together in love. Since Aleph represents the Creator, and Tsade represents the reflection of His image, an allusion to kallat Mashiach - the Bride of Messiah - can be seen.
5. The Two Forms of Tsade The bent form of Tsade represents righteous humility, but also is a picture of the suffering Tzaddik, which is also a picture of the LORD Yeshua (as Kiddushin 406 states, "suffering atones for sins" ** ). The sofit form of the letter represents the elevated Tzaddik, standing up with arms lifted upward in victory and praise.

**we know this idea to be antiquated and wrong-headed. Suffering deforms the brain, causing stunted brain plasticity, inflexible responses, hijacks the neurotransmitters and constrains the neurogenesis toward the defensive hindbrain, holding the frontal reasoning areas hostage in defensive patterns of fatalistic dread. In short, suffering makes humans mean.

regarding the fish-hook, this is designed to fit neatly into the narrative about the Tannayin (see Nun, Death, Scorpio, Sea Monster) as the fish-hook goes fishing for the ‘fish’ (Nun). These relics of Canaanite proto-religions (embedded into Judaic teachings) are fair enough (in that suffering and repression of push-back will create a real monster down in the subconscious) but the Jewish teachings do not allow for this Truth. Therefore, Jewish violence is generally directed at self annihilation (suicide) or projected upon ‘enemy consciousness’ (Zionist military campaigns).
