Once during a year of famine he was approached by a woman who requested financial support. Binyamin Hatzadik swore by the Service of the Bais Hamikdash that the fund was currently depleted. She responded that if he would not support her then she and her seven children would die. Upon hearing this Binyamin Hatzadik went ahead and supported this family from his personal money. |

In heaven the Ministering Angels argued in his behalf in front of Hashem. They said it is known from the Torah that one who sustains a single Jewish soul, it is as if he sustained the entire world. This is the reason why Adom was created alone, to show that each person through his descendents can fill the world. This is also the reason why Hashem rebuked Kayin after he murdered Hevel, "the bloods of your brother are calling out". He used the plural word 'bloods' to imply that Kayin had murdered Hevel and all the descendents that would have come from him. Binyamin Hatzadik had saved a woman and her seven children, the defending Angles demanded to know how he could pass away at such a young age. Their plea was accepted in Heaven and immediately the decree for Binyamin Hatzadik's death was torn and an additional 22 years were added to his life. |

Alternatively he might have been the same Rabbi Binyomin who was a student of Rabbi Akiva. If Binyamin Hatzadik lived as early as the Temple Era, as might be implied by his oath where he swore by the 'Service of the Bais Hamikdash', then he can possibly be identified with Binyomin who was appointed over the ovens of the Bais Hamikdash. Respectively he could have been a completely different Tzadik with no relation to the above three Tanaim. |

In attempt to capitalize on the city's assets, the municipality of Safed innovated a 'Hillula' on the 28th of Av for Binyamin Hatzadik which coincidentally falls out at the end of the summer during peek [[Safed-Tourism|tourist season]], right before the [[Klezmer Festival Safed|Klezmer Festival]]. However it is very likely that once the people decide on a Hillula the Tzadik shows up and maybe even that there was divine providence in the decision and they picked a relevant date. | In attempt to capitalize on the city's assets, the municipality of Safed innovated a 'Hillula' on the 28th of Av for Binyamin Hatzadik which coincidentally falls out at the end of the summer during peek [[Safed-Tourism|tourist season]], right before the [[Klezmer Festival Safed|Klezmer Festival]].
