Judaism is not a centralised religion with a single head. Although some countries have a head rabbi for that country, in most places different communities have their own head rabbi. Often, a single city with a large Jewish population will have a different head rabbi for different groups. Israel has two head rabbis, one Ashkenazi and the other Sephardi, for example.

The head of Orthodox Judaism is known as the tzaddik?

There is no single head of Judaism. In classical times, there was the king, the Cohen Gadol (High Priest) and the head of the Sanhedrin (the greatest Torah scholar). Today, each Rabbi, greater or lesser, heads a particular community. The word 'Tzaddik' is a title meaning 'righteous'. Any person can become a tzaddik, they do not have to be a rabbi to do so.


Which specific area does a rabbi look after?

Some area of Judaism.

Some rabbis are simply members of a synagogue and are otherwise "private citizens" within Judaism.
