"repairing the world"
Without the Temple sacrifice to cover their sins,
b'shem Y'shua
most Jews have turned to Tikkun Olam It is important in Judaism and is often used to explain the Jewish concept of social justice.
In some explanations, the more mitzvot that are performed, the closer the world will be
towards perfection. Some Jews that believe that acts of tikkun olam will either trigger
or fulfill the prophesied coming of the Mosiach (messiah) or messianic age (the World to Come).
The belief in tikkun olam is also central to the Zohar, the most important book in kabbalah (Jewish mysticism).
REpairing the world is misunderstood and misused. it does not mean going on marches for socialistic causes and it does not mean voting the democratic line. It is absolutely MISUSED.
