Tikkun olam (or more classically tikkun ha'olam; Hebrew: תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם, romanized: tiqqūn ʻōlām, lit. 'repairing the world') is a religious concept in Judaism, which refers to various forms of action intended to repair and improve the world.
Anchor fast decisions
The Hebrew term Tikkun Olam means 'repairing/mending the world'. Jewish tradition holds that the world is born broken (with cracks), and humanity's mission is not to despair and accept it, but to participate in its repair through every small act of goodness. It reduces the grand and overwhelming 'changing the world' to an executable 'repairing the one meter in front of you', countering nihilism and helplessness with action.
