Tikkun olam "Repair the world" #Judaism #Kabbalah #239 #227 #609 #69
Tikkun olam (Hebrew: תיקון עולם (literally, "repair of the world", alternatively, "construction for eternity") is a concept in Judaism, interpreted in Orthodox Judaism as the prospect of overcoming all forms of idolatry, and by other Jewish denominations as an aspiration to behave and act constructively and beneficially.
Documented use of the term dates back to the Mishnaic period. Since medieval times, kabbalistic literature has broadened use of the term. In the modern era, among the post Haskalah Ashkenazi movements, tikkun olam is the idea that Jews bear responsibility not only for their own moral, spiritual, and material welfare, but also for the welfare of society at large. To the ears of contemporary pluralistic Rabbis, the term connotes "the establishment of Godly qualities throughout the world".
"the establishment of Godly qualities throughout the world" = 239 (Full Reduction)
"the establishment of Godly qualities throughout the world" = 227 (Septenary)
"the establishment of Godly qualities throughout the world" = 609 (Jewish Ordinal)
