	Tikkun olam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tikkun olam (תיקון עולם) is a Hebrew phrase which translates to "repairing the world." It is important in Judaism and is often used to explain the Jewish concept of social justice.
		The belief in tikkun olam is also central to the Zohar, the most important book in kabbalah (Jewish mysticism).
		Tikkun magazine, edited by Rabbi Michael Lerner, reflects this worldview.

	The BooJoos (Steven Plaut) September, 2001
		I assume you are all familiar with that towering achievement of the intellect, Tikkun Magazine.
		Tikkun is the magazine for Jewish fossilized 60's radicals and new-wave pseudo-religious mystics, the main vehicle of expression for "PC Judaism", that is, the school of thought that holds that Judaism is nothing more and nothing less than the PC Leftist political agenda.
		Meanwhile, as your faithful correspondent on the spot, we have gotten hold of advance galleys for the forthcoming issue of the Hippy-Jewish far-Left Tikkun magazine and it promises to be a lollapalooza.

	Core Vision — A Jewish Magazine, an Interfaith Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Tikkuin is a Jewish magazine, but the Tikkun Community is an interfaith organization (and welcoming to agnostics and orthodox atheists as well).
		TIKKUN magazine has long championed the transformation of Jewish practices that demean queers or that limit marriage to heterosexual unions.
		What the TIKKUN Community seeks to offer is a vision that positions the quest for economic and social justice, peace and ecological sanity within the framework of a spiritual consciousness and a practice of open-heartedness, generosity, caring for others and outpouring of loving kindness.

	ThinkHolistic.com - Tikkun Magazine
		Tikkun Magazine began publication in 1986 as the liberal alternative to the voices of Jewish conservatism and spiritual deadness in the Jewish world and as the spiritual alternative to the voices of materialism and selfishness in Western society.
		Tikkun provides a space for both affiliated and non-affiliated Jews who seek to renew their Judaism, and a space for Jews and non-Jews alike to shape a politics out of spiritual values.
		Tikkun gets its name from the Hebrew word, 'tikkun,' which means 'to transform, heal and repair.' This concept was developed in the Zohar, a central text of the Kabbalah, to refer to the kind of healing and transformation of the world, 'tikkun olam,' in which each of us can participate.

	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 philosophy is: An eccentric left-wing Jewish cult, mixing the Old Testament, medieval cabala mysticism and 1960’s style campus Marxism.
		Tikkun philosophy believes that man is naturally caring and sensitive, but capitalism, portrayed as the key evil that Tikkun seeks to vilify, has turned humanity in free-market countries into raving brutes.

	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.

	Rabbi Michael Lerner
		A core Tikkun belief is that the justice movements have tended to underplay or even deny a very important dimension of human life -- the spiritual dimension.
		Tikkun Toronto is a community inspired by a diversity of spiritual and social justice traditions and committed to Tikkun Olam, a Jewish belief in healing and transforming the world and ourselves.
		Tikkun works through the arts, politics and inclusive spirituality in a manner that is caring, creative, collaborative and fun.

	Zionist Organization of America - September 1, 2000 - ZOA Praises Leftwing Tikkun Magazine For Supporting Jews' Right ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		An editorial in the September-October 2000 issue of Tikkun declared that the Temple Mount should be "a house of prayer for all peoples," and "a place that would welcome the wide diversity of approaches to holiness.
		Tikkun's call for "diversity" on the Mount and permitting "all peoples" to pray there would mean putting an end to the Arabs' apartheid-like policy of allowing only Muslims to pray there.
		We commend Michael Lerner and Tikkun magazine for joining with the ZOA and all other supporters of religious freedom in calling for an end to the Muslims-only policy that has been enforced with regard to praying on the Temple Mount."

	The Big Country Peacock Chronicle
		Rabbi Michael Lerner is editor of TIKKUN Magazine and rabbi of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue in San Francisco.
		Because TIKKUN Magazine has taken the stance that Palestinians are equally precious to God as Jews, they've lost much financial backing and support.
		To build support for this approach we are now starting what we call "The TIKKUN COMMUNITY"--both as a vehicle to raise money for the magazine, and as a way of taking some steps to acknowledge the reality that we have been functioning not only as a magazine, but as a kind of movement.

	Kansas City Jewish Chronicle
		Tikkun, Hebrew for "repair" or "transform," began as a magazine in 1986.
		Robyn Lundy, a national organizer for the Tikkun Community, spoke in Lawrence, Kan., on May 7 and was in Kansas City on May 8 to help start and organize a local Tikkun Community.
		She called Tikkun "a middle path" between unquestioning support for either the Israeli or Arab sides of the long-running conflict in the Middle East.

		"Tikkun [which means to heal or repair] was founded on the universal concepts of compassion, love, peace and justice," she said.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Daily Life: Tikkun Olam in Contemporary Jewish Thought
		By 1970, the expression “tikkun olam”wasadopted by United Synagogue Youth, the national youth organization of the Conservative Movement.
		For the latter, tikkun is a byword for social, moral, or political activism of one sort or another.
		Tikkun isalso useful because of its malleability; as the materials surveyed here demonstrate, it is a conception which can be used to justify the widest range of activities and views.

	People's Tribune 01-02 Spirit: The Tikkun Community Founding Statement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Our task is to support each other as we bring ideas into the public sphere that are often dismissed as "too idealistic" or "too spiritual" and to help each other sustain a commitment to a transformative agenda against all the pressures to be "more realistic" and settle for much less than we actually believe in...
		The Tikkun Community takes a profound step forward when it advocates "a new bottom line in our economic and social institutions." It calls for reshaping our society and its institutions around love and care for one another and for the environment.
		In the long run, the test of Tikkun Community's success will be its ability to reach out and defend the new class of poor, those who are increasingly being displaced from our system by advancing technology and automation.

	Michael Lerner : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Within the Jewish world, Lerner is better known for serving as editor of the flaky Far-Left Tikkun magazine, a sort of a mix between a nominally-Jewish Rolling Stone and Z Magazine.
		Tikkun Magazine presents its readers every month with a roll call of shallow leftism, mixed with New Age touchy-feely recreational "compassion" and peace posturing.
		Tikkun seeks to serve as a nostalgic fossilization of Sixties counter-culture and New Left radicalism.

	MOONBAT CENTRAL: Amazing Developments at Tikkun Magazine
		Tikkun magazine is the hippy-dippy magazine for fossilized 60s "dudes," edited by Michael Lerner, creator of the "Politics of Meaning" back in the early days of the Clintons.
		Now it has occurred to me that many of the members of the editorial board of Tikkun magazine, not to mention most of its readership, must be pushing 65 years old or more.
		Tikkun magazine just cries out to be lampooned.

		Although written from a Jewish perspective, Tikkun's readers cover a spectrum of people interested in political and social critique, and who see problems with the current culture of selfishness.
		Tikkun is also concerned with bringing estranged Jews back to their religious roots, championing a peaceful resolution to conflict in the Middle East, and promoting stimulating intellectual discourse on personal responsibility and the Jewish Renewal.

		As it is a Jewish magazine I think it is particularly shameful that the magazine has gone out of its way to criticize Israel, and promote Arab nationalism.
		As for the intellectual content of the magazine, my own sense is that its social and cultural agenda are also far to the left of what they should be.
