Rabbimap

A Work Born From Light, Sustained by Meaning

Rabbimap was born from a simple but deeply unsettling realization. Finding Kivrei Tsadikim should not be difficult. And yet, for so many people — in Israel and even more in Choutz LaAretz — it is.

Unless one has a local guide, personal connections, or access to expensive and specialized books, these holy places remain hidden. For foreigners, for people who do not speak the language, and for those traveling alone, access is often confusing, unreliable, or simply impossible.

What should be shared was locked behind knowledge. What should have been visible was scattered, forgotten, or inaccessible. Rabbimap was created to change that.

A Universal Problem, In Israel and Beyond

Very quickly, it became clear that this issue was not limited to Israel. Outside of Israel, accessible and reliable data on Kivrei Tsadikim is scarce, fragmented, and often inaccurate. Many resting places are unknown, abandoned, feared, or remembered only by a few. Even Israelis themselves often have no idea where these places are once they leave Israel.

Finding them requires intuition, experience, and persistence — far too much effort for something that belongs to everyone. Rabbimap began as a work of research, gathering, and centralization, so that people could stop struggling and finally access information they should have always had.

A Deeply Spiritual Foundation

Rabbimap maps only Kivrei Tsadikim. Because this project is not about geography. It is about light.

The Tsadikim are not figures of the past. They are the spiritual shepherds of Bnei Israel. They are the ones who sustained the Torah, awakened souls, inspired Teshuva, and carried the spiritual continuity of Am Israel until today.

To visit a Kever Tsadik is not tourism. It is connection. It is remembrance. It is standing close to a light that never fades.

Rabbimap was created at the age of 18, with no resources, no funding, and no structure — only with sincere, benevolent, and deeply spiritual intentions to do something meaningful.

Memory, Responsibility, and Preservation

Beyond its spiritual dimension, Rabbimap is also a work of memory. Some Kivrei Tsadikim are no longer accessible. Some are forgotten. Some are feared. Some are known only to a handful of people.

Documenting them matters. Preserving them matters. Remembering them matters. Rabbimap exists so that these places — and what they represent — are not erased.

What Rabbimap Has Become

Despite being entirely volunteer-based, Rabbimap has grown far beyond what was ever imagined.

• Over 50,000 users
• Millions of pages viewed related to Tsadikim
• Hundreds of thousands — and even over a million — visits inspired by Rabbimap

All of this was achieved without financial means, without a team, and without the ability to invest fully. This revealed something essential: Rabbimap answers a real, deep, and shared need.

Why Support Matters — On a Human Level

Every donation, every message, every sign of support is more than help. It is a testimony.

It proves that the work started years ago — without money and with only good intentions — was not in vain. That it serves a purpose. That it reaches people. That it matters.

This recognition is deeply encouraging. It gives meaning and strength. And it allows that encouragement to be transformed directly into improvements for Rabbimap itself. Supporting Rabbimap is not about rewarding the past — it is about enabling the future.

The Vision Going Forward

Rabbimap does not aim to remain what it is today. Its ambition is to become:

• A true spiritual and historical reference tool
• A richer, deeper, and more reliable database
• With far more Tsadikim
• With far more detailed information on each one
• With improved performance and new features
• With a clear and lasting reason to exist

Not just a map — but a mission.

Joining the Journey

Supporting Rabbimap is not purchasing an application. It is choosing to take part in a work of light, memory, and continuity.

It is saying: These Tsadikim matter. This memory matters. This light must remain accessible.

And together, step by step, this light can continue to shine.
