The Bible proclaims our mission of tikkun olam, repairing the world, such that every human image of God is sustained in the fullness of our dignity. To achieve our mission Judaism offers a realistic, personal, incremental partnership between God and humanity across generations in which human beings grow ever more responsible for world repair.
