Repairing the world

(Tikkun olam - (Hebrew: תיקון עולם‎) )

Tikkun Olam is an Ancient idea with New concepts. The underlying theory has developed over time and branched into related terms and concepts that Judaism has used over thousands of years to describe the duties we now identify as acts of Tikkun Olam.

"By illuminating Judaism’s understanding of the components of an ideal world, and the importance of justice, compassion, education, piety, social and familial harmony and enrichment, and physical flourishing for both the individual and society, we see how this ancient quest for a world with all these elements helps us define Jewish identity and mission today."
The Way Into Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World) by Elliot N. Dorff, Ph.D.

"For some Jews, the phrase tikkun olam means that Jews are not only responsible for creating a model society among themselves but also are responsible for the welfare of the society at large. This responsibility may be understood in religious, social or political terms and there are many different opinions about how religion, society, and politics interplay."
