tikkun olam


the literal meaning is “repair the world”, and it is a concept in judaism interpreted as the prospect of overcoming all forms of idolatry, and by other jewish denominations as an aspiration to behave and act constructively and beneficially.
by the mid-1980s, rabbis, educators, communal workers, ac­tivists and others were invoking tikkun olam as a value concept in support of a variety of humanistic and distinctly jewish causes, ranging from environmentalism and nuclear non-proliferation to palestinian-israeli reconciliation and unrestricted soviet jewish emigration.
