What is Tikkun Olam?

Tikkun olam is a Hebrew phrase which translates to "repairing the world." It's about making a difference. 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.

"Justice, Justice shall you pursue" - Deuteronomy 16:20
