Tikkun olam involves the recognition that the world does need repair, rather than Stoic acceptance of ascetic denial.

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

[eternity-meets-modernity]

We learn that the Law given unto Israel was “engraved” upon stone tablets. However, the word for “engraved”, also means freedom, when the vowels are changed. Therefore, it is taught that the law is not strict, harsh, or engraved, but rather a pathway to freedom.
