Join Tzedek Collective for Shabbat candle lighting at the Rising Tide People’s Blockade at Muloobinba (Newcastle) at the Prayer Tent on 28th November, 7pm, as we reflect on “Tikkun Olam”- to repair the world.
This is especially urgent in light of the ecocide, multiple genocides around the world, including here in ‘so-called australia’, Palestine, Sudan, all fueled by the extraction of resources that the People’s Blockade is here to block.
“tikkun olam (“healing the world”). It’s a term often used figuratively: its original Mishnaic use referred to amendments to the law made to keep society functioning. It has since become shorthand for social justice, the performance of mitzvot in order to create a better society. But right now, the significance is literal. Our planet is sick, and we must heal it.”
