	MyJewishLearning.com - Daily Life: Overview: Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World)
		Contemporary usage of the phrase shares with the rabbinic concept of "mipnei tikkun ha-olam" a concern with public policy and societal change, and with the kabbalistic notion of "tikkun" the idea that the world is profoundly broken and can be fixed only by human activity.
		However, except within traditionalist Hasidic communities, the use of "tikkun olam" rarely reflects the belief that acts outside the realm of social responsibility (for example, making a blessing before eating) effect cosmic repair; that tikkun repairs the Divine self; or that the goal of "tikkun" is the complete undoing of the created world itself.
		Tikkun olam, once associated with a mystical approach to all mitzvot, now is most often used to refer to a specific category of mitzvot involving work for the improvement of society—a usage perhaps closer to the term’s classical rabbinic origins than to its longstanding mystical connotations.

	Tikkun
		The symbol of Tikkun ha-Olam embodies the most distinctively Jewish, as well as the the single most important ethical injunction of the Kabbalah: the command that humanity must restore and redeem a broken and fallen world (see Shevirat ha-Kelim).
		According to the Hasidim it is the individual's divinely appointed task to not only liberate those sparks that are entrapped in Kelippot within his own body and soul, but also those sparks in the world that he or she encounters along life's way.
		Tikkun ha-Olam will only be complete when the last spark has been raised and the entire world informed with spiritual meaning and value.

	Tikkun Olam
		Tikkun olam encompasses both the outer and the inner, both service to society by helping those in need and service to the Divine by liberating the spark within.
		Tikkun olam places our spiritual practice at the heart of the epic, unfolding history of the universe: the evolution and spiritualization of the whole of creation.
		Rather than view tikkun olam as a return to the perfection that existed before God created the universe, we consider the spiritualizing action as reaching toward a new and greater perfection than existed before, toward perfecting this flawed world by imbuing the whole of it with the Divine spirit.

	Tikkun - Does socialist cult helps shape White House policy?
		Once one discovers the philosophies and doctrines of Tikkun and then correlates them with the actions and proposals served up by the White House over the last year and a half, it would appear that Tikkun is influencing (or at least is in agreement with) the day-to-day actions of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

	Tikkun - The Lurianic Theory of Creation and Redemption
		Therefore, the World of Restoration ('Olam Tikkun) is not equal (but is not different as well) to the world of 'Or En-Sof (Ultimateless Light, or Absolute) of the beginning.
		Tikkun 'Olam is of the same nature as 'Or En-Sof but it is not simplicity and potentiality but concrete unity of differences and actuality.
		And the process of Tikkun is called "the repairing of the God's Face" because it corrects the existential break, or gap in the Absolute Being as such which is also a moment in His unfolding.

	Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
		Tikkun Olam Pagans are people who misrepresent Judaism as nothing more and nothing less than the pursuit of the liberal social action political agenda, all in the name of a suitably misrepresented Tikkun Olam.
		The equation of Tikkun Olam with liberal political activism is so commonplace that it is recited as an ethical basis by many of the same liberal "social activists" who cannot recite the Shema prayer correctly, who practice no Jewish ritual, and have no idea of what any other concepts are in Judaism.
		Tikkun Olam is mentioned in a major place in the Aleinu prayer that closes all prayer sessions, but again it is in conjunction with the wish to see idolatry and paganism erased from the earth.

		Some Jews believe that acts of tikkun olam will either trigger or fulfill the prophesied coming of the Moshiach (messiah) or messianic age (the World to Come).

		Lerner’s successful leftist publication Tikkun, frequently repeats Arab libels against Israel—claiming, for instance, that European Jews landed in the Mideast to steal the land of the Palestinians (most of Israel’s Jewish population are refugees from Arab lands and the Zionist movement legally purchased all its land holdings prior to the war in 1948).
		The Tikkun website frequently asks for donations to rebuild "Palestinian homes" that were demolished by the Israel Defense Force because they housed terrorist cells or bomb factories.

	Kolel: Reb on the Web Archives
		When people today use the phrase "tikkun olam" (literally: "fixing the world"), they usually are referring to a set of ideas and actions in the realms of social justice, kindness to others, and environmental health that are intended to make the world a better place.
		This use of the term "tikkun olam" is the result of a fairly recent mixing of two streams of Jewish thought.
		Those who speak of tikkun olam in the contemporary sense find broken-ness not (only) mystically, but quite literally, in human relationships and in the natural world.

	Tikkun Tips (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The concept of tikkun olam, or repairing the world through social action, is one of the traditional categories of tzedakah (righteousness and justice).
		Still others believe that engaging in acts of tikkun olam is the primary means of satisfying the need to create a sense of Jewish community and identity.
		From this perspective the commitment to tikkun olam is a calling, a vocation, and it is unlikely that the Jews could survive, except as a community organized around values and committed to tikkun olam.3 Tikkun olam is central to Judaism.

	Sabbatianism, Tikkun and the Big Bang Theory
		In previous essay I have alluded to the fact that Isaac Luria's 16th century, Kabbalistic notion of the "Sheviret HaKelim" (or "Shattering of the Vessels") -- on which the Neo-Sabbatian concept of Tikkun, or "Holy Repair of the Face of God" -- is virtually identical to that of the "Big Bang" theory of 20th-century astrophysics.
		The importance of this is that modern science has literally confirmed the validity of Lurianic and, therefore, Neo-Sabbatian Kabbalah and, by extension, the Jewish mystical texts, such as the Zohar, on which they were based.
		And finally, the third piece of this picture is an event modern astronomers and physicists call the "Big Bang" -- a cataclysmic explosion in the cosmos which, they say, inaugurated the beginnings of the universe, just as Isaac Luria said the "Shattering of the Vessels" had four centuries earlier.
