When we engage in social causes and call it <i>Tikkun Olam</i>, we often use that term to invoke Jewish values and concepts without ever quite exploring them.”<br /><br /><b>SOURCE:</b> <i>Speaking of Jewish Identity</i> <br />by Andrés Spokoiny 2016 May 25<br />http://ejewishphilanthropy.com/speaking-of-jewish-identity/<br /><br />===================================<br />“Today, <i>tikkun olam</i> is part of modern, liberal discourse, even though its popularized connotation has little to do with its traditional meaning.”<br /><br /><b>SOURCE</b>: <i>The Real Meaning of Tikkun Olam</i> by Curt Biren <br />2016 August 18, from the <i>Jewish Journal of Los Angeles</i><br />www.seraphicpress.com/the-jewish-left-lies-about-tikkun-olam/<br />http://israelseen.com/2016/08/23/curt-biren-the-real-meaning-of-tikkun-olam/<br /><br />===================================<br />“<i>Tikkun Olam</i>” has, in recent years, become the buzz phrase of American Jewish progressives. “Let us take care of the poor and downtrodden,” proponents say, “whether they are in our backyard or anywhere around the world — for that is what the Torah wants us to do.” To the advocates of “<i>tikkun olam</i>,” this Hebrew phrase has come to mean “healing the world.” <br /><br />But if you read the actual text, you’ll see that the phrase means ensuring that the execution of law does not result in a disintegration of society. And in Jewish mystical texts, the phrase connotes a reconciliation between the spiritual and material worlds.<br /><br /><b>SOURCE:</b><br /><i>Being a Good Person Is Not the Be All and End All</i> by Pini Dunner 2017 May 5 <br />www.algemeiner.com/2017/05/05/being-a-good-person-is-not-the-be-all-and-end-all/<br /><br />===================================<br /><b>Evelyn Gordon (a journalist living in Israel) said:</b><br /><br />...Jewish Leftists have spent decades trying to conflate <i>tikkun olam</i> with a particular set of Progressive policies, such that anyone opposing those policies <i>ipso facto</i> opposes <i>tikkun olam</i>. <br /><br />And as evidenced by that speaker’s choice of words, <br />they have succeeded: Even thir Jewish opponents now view <br /><i>tikkun olam</i> as a “Leftist Progressive ideology.”<br /><br />But by appropriating <i>tikkun olam</i> as their own exclusive property, Leftists have discredited the entire concept…<br /><br /><b>SOURCE:</b> article by Evelyn Gordon, 2019 April 10 <br /><i>How to destroy Jewish and democratic values in one easy step</i><br />www.jns.org/opinion/how-to-destroy-jewish-and-democratic-values-in-one-easy-step/Mr. Cohenhttps://www.jns.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-33013497534155189872019-08-15T21:00:19.603+03:002019-08-15T21:00:19.603+03:00Pete Buttigieg, like all [or almost all]
