 Who Is The Zaddik? Baruch ha Tzaddik was born on September 6, 1948 C.E. in Wichita, Kansas. He was the first son of a first son of a first son of a first son of a first son. His full name is Barry Gale Albin, with a meaning of the Blessed White Storm or Breeze. Throughout his formative period, he worked as an advocate for the poor and oppressed and was truly the Blessed White Storm, but when he ended the Path and walked into the Throne Room, he changed from Storm to Breeze representing a mission as a healer and peacemaker. Baruch came from parents who were irreligious and not committed to the ideals of religion. He grew up in Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. He was exposed to a variety of religious ideas and in 1968, he converted to Roman Catholicism. In 1972, he joined the Charismatic Renewal and began studying. When he was confirmed, he received the gifts of wisdom and knowledge and read the entire Catholic Scriptures in the next 168 days picking up a remarkable understanding after the first reading. He became increasingly devout and increased his formal education. In 1975, Baruch met Father William J. Axe who handed him a book on the Ba'al Shem Tov and told him to read it. In 1976, Father Axe told Baruch that he needed to return to his Jewish roots as his heart was that of a Jew. Baruch began to keep Pesach again in 1977. In 1978, he added the feasts of Yom Kippur and Rosh HaShanah as well as Sukkoth and the Shabbat. In 1979, Baruch began to go to a Messianic Synagogue, but quickly found that they believed in the Divinity of Yeshua and he had already begun to doubt that lie. In 1981, he was called by Mary Feagan to begin a charismatic bible study on Strawberry Hill in Kansas City, Kansas. In 1985, that group matured into the Servants of G-d Evangelical Mission, Inc. which was never evangelical, but was committed to the ideals of holiness for lay people. In February, 1985, Danny Thompson came up from Texas with the command that Baruch be ordained Rabbi and Mebakker or Bishop of the incipient organization and the group became much more committed to Jewish ways. Under Baruch's guidance, the group rejected the Divinity of Yeshua, affirmed his Messiahship, and adopted the Didache as its constitution. Baruch became the center of spiritual activity and the group added new disciples. Several wiccan covens in the city turned their eyes toward Baruch and in 1992, they tried to kill Baruch. He also separated from his wife. In 1992, the Witch Terra as High Priestess instigated attacks within Baruch's profession which were entirely unfounded and the alleged victim recanted under oath. As he grew in spiritual authority, HaShem sent Baruch to Yerushaliym in 1997 for his 46th spiritual birthday and HaShem learned much about the holy land at that time. Baruch has written Climbing Jacob's Ladder: A Lay Guide to Holiness; The Believer's Commentary of Mark; The Believer's Commentary on the Letter of Barnabas to the Essense (Hebrews); and The Manual of the Nasorean Church. He continues to teach and prepare people for a life of holiness and has now begun a ministry of helping persons with spiritual gifts use them in harmony with Divine WIll. Baruch was married for twenty-six years to Marianne K. Olish. He has four sons: Thomas, Michael, Benyamin, Yoshua. He has practiced law for 30 years in Kansas City, but has now entered on other career paths in consonance with the Will of the Holy One. You may contact the Tzaddik at email address below. Should you feel moved to support the Tzaddik, he is an appropriate person to give the Thanksgiving tithe and the Free-Will tithe. Supporting a Tzaddik is the same as doing the ministry of the Tzaddik and brings blessings of the HaShem upon you for having blessed his Slave.
