Question
Why do we say 'Tzidkatecha Tzedek' on Shabbat? I heard it's a form of comforting mourners?
Answer
Shalom and blessings, it is not exactly comforting mourners, but it is a justification of judgment, and it refers either to the fact that Yosef the Righteous, King David, and Moses our Teacher passed away on Shabbat afternoon, or that Moses our Teacher was buried by the Holy One, blessed be He, on Shabbat afternoon.
