Tikkun (Repair)
Tikkun, meaning "repair" in Hebrew, is a concept in Jewish thought that emphasizes the importance of healing and restoring the world. It suggests that individuals have a responsibility to contribute positively to society and the environment, addressing injustices and promoting harmony. This idea is often linked to the belief that the world is inherently broken and requires collective efforts to mend it.
The practice of Tikkun can manifest in various ways, including acts of kindness, social justice initiatives, and environmental stewardship. It is closely associated with the teachings of Kabbalah, which highlights the spiritual significance of repairing the world. Through Tikkun, individuals seek to create a more compassionate and equitable society.
