What is TIkkun Olam?  

Tikkun Olam (תיקון עולם) is a Hebrew phrase which translates literally as "repairing the world". It is a belief that was made central by the Kabbalah, esoteric Jewish mysticism, which is developed in the Zohar, a classic book of Jewish mysticism. In the teaching of the Zohar, one way to repair the world after the breaking of the sacred vessels (kaylim) is by performance of mitzvot ("good deeds"). The more mitzvot performed the closer the world will return to its original state of perfection. You may explore the links below to discover different resources for performing mitzvot.
