The Jewish Approach To Repairing The World (Tikkun Olam): A Brief Introduction For Christians Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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 olam. 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 PoorThe Power of WordsThe Ministry of PresenceDuties of Spouses to Each OtherChildren's Duties to Their ParentsParent's Duties to Their ChildrenThe Traditional Jewish Vision of the Ideal World
