Who Came Up With Tikkun Olam? – Don’t surrender. Don’t escape. Fix the world.
Maybe you’ve heard of tikkun olam. It’s a phrase thrown around a lot in Jewish circles.
Olam means “world,” and tikkun—well, it means all sorts of things. But in this sense, it means “repair.”
So tikkun olam means “repairing the world.” Which is what we’re here to do.
Because, in case you didn’t notice, the world is broken. Even the stuff that looks great isn’t anywhere near what it’s supposed to be.
So some people say, “That’s just the way things are. Live with it.”
Others say, “Let the One who made it fix it.”
And yet others say, “Escape it.”
But Jews say, “Fix it. Whatever you can. Because that’s what you’re here for.”
