A window into the Jewish idea of responsibility to care for the
world
written especially for Christians.
The concept of repairing the world ("tikkun olam") is an
integral part of Jewish life. It helps shape Jewish social and
family relationships, and even mandates how Jews should speak to
others. But why is it important for Christians to understand this
Jewish approach to life? And what kind of impact can understanding
this fundamental aspect of Judaism have on Christians seeking to
develop a deeper understanding of their own faith? With insight and
wisdom, award-winning author Rabbi Elliot Dorff provides an
accessible, honest and thorough exploration of this important
Jewish concept. With easy-to-understand explanations of Jewish
terms, practices and history, each chapter explores a different
facet touched by the tradition of "tikkun loam." Rabbi Dorff also
addresses parallel themes and practices in the Christian tradition,
helping you better understand the roots of Christianity and how the
fundamentals of Judaism relate and reflect your own aspirations to
repair the world. Caring for the Poor The Power of Words The
