Hilula and Yarzeit for the Hebrew Month of Tishrai - תשרי.
There are 23 days of Chagim (Holidays) in the month of Tishrai. One for each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the Human DNA sequence. Tishrai is the 7th month of the Hebrew Year yet is considered the beginning of the New Year. One way to reconcile this paradox is to realize the 7th Sefirah is Malchut or Manifestation. This makes us realize the beginning of something is thought but the thought without the completion of the action is not what it is about. The actual action is the true beginning in our physical world while the thought is the potential from our spiritual worlds.
Per the sages, it is good just to say the Name of a Tzadik. Of course the more one learns about each individual Tzadik strengthens one's connection to that Tzadik and assists in the Channel of connection between you and he/she. As we develop more information about a particular Tzadik his or her name will appear as a Link. Otherwise, it will just be listed below the date.
One spiritual ritual recommended by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov is to say the Names of the Tzadikim starting with Adam and Chava and continuing until today. This list will be added as a link when it is available. In the meantime, try doing this ritual with the Names of all the Tzadikim who passed in an Hebrew month.
Here is a link to make a donation or to purchase a spiritual gift to help support the building of this list.
Below are the Tzadikim who celebrate their Hilulah during the month of Tishrai - תשרי

Sara Imeinu (Our Mother)This is Sarah the wife of Abraham the Patriarch. This is both her birthdate and her Hilula. She was born in 1803 BCE which is 1957 in the Hebrew Calendar. Her Hilula is on this same day of her birthday 127 years later in the year 1676 BCE which is 2084 in the Hebrew Calendar. This is also the same date as the binding of Yitzhak known as the Akaidah Yitzhak. There are many midrashim as to why she chose this date to leave our world but the most clear reason as explained by the Kabbalists is 
that both Avraham and Yitzhak achieved their Tikune by agreeing to perform and submit to the Binding (note it is not the sacrifice of Yitzhak). Therefore, as a wife and mother she had no reason to remain in this world.
Sarah is a Prophetess in her own right and is even on a higher level than Abraham.

He became Rav of Moghilef, on the Dnieper in 1870, but his lack of subservience provoked the resentment of the richer Jews, who denounced him as a political criminal.

The Karlin dynasty had its beginnings with Rav Aharon HaGodol of Karlin (1736-1772), a talmid of the Maggid of Mezritch. At that time, Karlin was located in Lithuania, so Karliners are known as "Lithuanian chassidim." It was Rav Aharon's son and successor, Rav Asher the First, who moved the court to Stolin. Rav Aharon's great-grandson, Rav Asher the Second, was childless for many years. In 1869, his wife, Rebbetzin Devorah, was blessed with a boy, whom they named Yisrael. Reb Yisrael was only 4 years old when his father was nifter in the town of Drohobich (Galicia). The Karlin chasidim resolved to meet this lack of leadership by standing firm in their loyalty to the Karlin dynasty, and therefore proclaimed the Yenuka [Child] Yisrael to be their Rebbe. The influence of the Haskalah movement, which had first begun to be felt in Rav Aharon the Second's days grew stronger in Rav Yisrael's time. Rav Yisrael died far away from his native town, in a convalescent home in Homburg, Germany. He was buried in Frankfurt-on-Main. After his petira, his followers were now in a quandary as Rav Yisrael had left no instructions regarding which of his six sons to appoint in his place. Thus, the leadership split into three. His son, Rav Moshe, led the court in Stolin, where he opened the yeshivah, Beis Yisrael, in his father's memory in 1922. Another son, Rav Avraham Elimelech, became rebbe in Karlin, while Rav Yochanan, his youngest son, became rebbe in Lutzk. The Nazis destroyed the Stolin community in Elul 1942, and four of Rav Yisrael's sons perished in the Holocaust. However, thanks to his surviving sons, Karlin-Stolin communities now thrive in Eretz Yisrael and America. These sons were Rav Yaakov, who had moved to America in 1923, and lived in Williamsburg before moving to Detroit where he passed away in 1946. The second surviving son was Rav Yochanan, Rav Yisrael's youngest son, who became the Karlin-Stolin Rebbe in America in 1948, and passed away in 1956. He was succeeded by his daughter's son, Rav Baruch Yaakov Meir Shochet, who was a baby at the time of his passing. History repeated itself when this youngster was coronated as the next Karlin-Stolin Rebbe when he was only eight years old. The year of his Hilula has the energy of healing.

He worked diligently to restore Yiddishkeit and was especially active in rescuing children left with non-Jews. He then fled to Austria, 
where he founded a yeshiva in Welsh, a small town near Salzburg. He was then called upon to take over the leadership of the Meor Hagoloh yeshiva in Rome. He later went to America, where he served as Rav of the Beis Hamedrash Hagodol on the Lower East Side of New York City. He published Divrei Ephraim in 1949.

After the fast ended, Rebbe Nachman spoke in a light-hearted way about what the man's true intentions had been, and the man was so incensed that he denounced Rebbe Nachman to Rabbi Aryeh Leib of Shpola, known as the "Shpoler Zeide", a prominent Hasidic rabbi and early disciple of Rabbi Pinchas of Koritz, who was a leading figure in the first generation of Hasidut.

Rabbi Yehuda Leib Ashlag of Yerushalayim, also known as Yehuda Leib Ha-Levi Ashlag (Hebrew: רַבִּי יְהוּדָה לֵיבּ הַלֵּוִי אַשְׁלַג), or the Baal Ha-Sulam (Hebrew: בַּעַל הַסּוּלָם, "Author of the Ladder") in reference to his magnum opus, the Sulam, a commentary on the Zohar. He was an orthodox rabbi and kabbalist born in 1886 in Łódź, Congress Poland, Russian Empire, to a family of scholars connected to the Hasidic courts of Porisov and Belz. Ashlag reputedly studied Kabbalah from the age of seven, hiding pages from the book Etz Chaim (The Tree of Life) of Isaac Luria (also known as the Arizal) in the Talmudic tractate he was meant to be studying. By nineteen, Ashlag’s knowledge of the Torah was profound enough for the rabbis of Warsaw to confer upon him the title of rabbi. Rabbi Ashlag lived in the Holy Land from 1922 until his death in 1954 (except for two years in England). In addition to his Sulam commentary on the Zohar, his other primary work, Talmud Eser Sefirot is regarded as the central textbook for students of Kabbalah. Ashlag systematically interpreted this wisdom and promoted its wide dissemination. In line with his directives, many contemporary adherents of Ashlag’s teachings strive to spread Kabbalah to the masses. Rav Ashlag translated the Zohar into Hebrew from the original Aramaic, and he reedited the "Etz Chaim" which is the definitive Lurianic work on essence and cosmology. To this he added a commentary transposing the somewhat abstract notion of "receptacle" (Kli) into the experientially more accessible term "desire" (Ratzon) in all its many permutations. This work is known as the "Talmud Esser Sphirot." He also wrote many other articles and essays including "Matan Torah" (Gift of the Bible), Article on Peace, Article on Freedom, and many others.
In the 1930s Ashlag, now in his fifties, gathered around him a group of disciples, including Rav Yehuda Tzvi Brandwein. Ashlag differs fundamentally from all Kabbalists of the past, who studied and taught Kabbalah in a concealed manner, in that he felt a great need to reveal and clarify the teaching of Kabbalah to the masses. This was because he saw that the evil inclination in people (human egoism) would rise to an altogether new height in this era of humanity, causing an altogether new era of internal suffering felt as a meaningless and confused existence. He taught that through intensive study of Kabbalah, a person's desire to give to others is developed in relation to this goal. Rav Ashlag believed that the coming of the Messiah meant that humans would attain this quality which would allow them to give up their selfishness and devote themselves to loving each other for the sake of life's purpose, as stated in the commandment "love thy neighbor as thyself." There are 2 working groups that stem frorm his teachings. One is the Kabbalah Center and the other is Benai Baruch. His year of Hilula is 1954 which is 5714 - תשיד in the Hebrew Calendar.

Rabbi Tavyomi Also known as Rav Tavot. He is known from comments written in the Talmud about him. Here is one example: Rava said: I used to say that there is no truth in the world. A certain sage -- Rav Tavot by name, and some say he is called Rav Tavyomi -- once told me that if he were given all the universe he would not alter his words. Once this Rav Tavot happened by a certain place, Kushta [meaning Truth] was its name, and [the people there] never altered their words, and not a single one of them ever died before his time. [Rav Tavot] wed one of their women and she bore him two sons. One day his wife was washing her hair. Along came her neighbor and knocked on the door. He, thinking it lacking in propriety [for his wife to be seen thus], said to her [the neighbor], "She is not in." Both his sons died. The residents came to him and said, "What has happened?" He told them, such and such happened. They answered, "Please, leave our midst and do not tempt death to visit our people."
Sanhedrin 97a
Even a truthful person like Rav Tavot or Rav Tavyomi,who is a fifth generation Babylonian amora (sage), who was prepared to give all in order not to lie, preferred telling a white lie to being immodest.
