Visit TIKKUN OLAM : BASIC QUESTIONS AND POLICY DIRECTIONS
Recent years have seen a surge of projects in social justice, humanitarianism,
ecology and similar endeavors, aiming both to bolster Jewish identity and
enhance Jews' standing with other communities, and expressed in terms of
Tikkun Olam. This traditional term, literally meaning "repair and restoration of the
world," has come to signify a Jewish commitment to ethically charged social
activism, and well beyond the parameters of Jewish communities as such.
