Episode Details

In this episode, we unpack the modern Jewish mantra of tikkun olam—the call to "repair the world" that has become a guiding phrase for everything from charity projects to social justice movements to everyday acts of kindness. We'll explore where the idea actually comes from, how its meaning has evolved, and why it resonates so deeply across Jewish communities today. From ancient mystical roots to modern civic activism, tikkun olam weaves together hope, responsibility, and the belief that each of us can make the world a little better. Join us as we explore the power—and the promise—of repair.
