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

“You can see #religion as a #battle, a #holy #war, in which you win a victory for your #faith by force or #fear. Or you can see it as a #candle you #light to drive away some of the #darkness of the #world. The difference is that the first sees other #religions as the #enemy. The second sees them as other candles, not threatening mine, but adding to the #light we share. What #Jews remembered from that victory over the #Greeks twenty-two centuries ago was not a God of war but the #God of light. And it’s only the God of light who can defeat the darkness in the human #soul.” - #Rabbi #Lord #JonathanSacks Happy #Chanukah and #Holidays to all y'allz! #Light + #Love + #Blessings

Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.” (Gen. 49:1-2) This seems …

Brilliant piece by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks:

“Do not believe that the future is written. It isn’t. There is no fate we cannot change, no prediction we cannot defy. We are not predestined to fail; neither are we pre-ordained to succeed. We do not predict the future, because we make the future: by our choices, our willpower, our persistence and our determination to survive.”
