10 Minute Topics: Tikkun Olam

The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: Tikkun Olam.

Tikkun olam is a Hebrew phrase that means, "repairing the world" or "perfecting the world." In Judaism, the concept of tikkun olam originated in the early rabbinic period. The concept was given new meanings in the kabbalah of the medieval period and further connotations in modern Judaism.
