Tikkum Olam
TIKKUM (TIKKUN) OLAM
Tikkum Olam means "Repair of the World;" or in other words, making the world a better place for all living things.
Tikkun olam encompasses both the outer and the inner self, both service to society by helping those in need and service to God by freeing the spark of goodness within ourselves. As we are, the Divine spark lies hidden beneath our layers of egoistic self-centeredness. That spark is our conscience, through which the inspirations of the Divine Will flow toward us. By pursuing spiritual inner work to strengthen our soul and purify our heart, we grow more able to bear that spark with courage, more willing to act on what we know to be right, less willing to act in harmful or grasping ways, and more able to notice the quiet presence of conscience beneath the chaos of our chattering minds and reactive emotions. The work of transformation, of building a soul creates a proper vessel for the Divine spark, for our unique share of the Divine Will, returning that spark to the service of the One Who sent it. By working to perfect ourselves, perfect our soul, and serve society, we each contribute in our own unique way to the perfecting of the world. This is our duty and our calling as human beings.

After reading about 8 actions in 8 days write your own ideas about how YOU can do 8 actions in 8 days that would be practicing Tikkum Olam. You can use any ideas, not just environmental ones, but they need to be something you will do!
