Tikkun ha-olam


More commonly “tikkun olam,” meaning “for the sake of repairing the world.” The term, “tikkun olam,” refers to the end of the seventh day of creation, the time when the Divine light that was shattered and scattered into “broken shards,” these “shards” being a basis for the material world, coming back together, sealed as one in and by the Creator’s power. This appears to be the very definition of “the end of days,” which some call the eighth day of creation, the day Jesus Christ rose from the grave.
