Tikkum olam is Hebrew for healing or repairing the world.
And whilst speaking to a good colleague, she told me how she had come across these beautiful words whilst praying with her sister.
In our short exchange I learned about her religion and her beliefs and also that in Hebrew, God is not written in its fullest form, but G-d.
Bizarre as it may sounds, this reminded me of Harry Potter and the fact that noone says Voldemorts name out loud.
Anyway, here are the words she shared.
Tikkum olam
then you have found a piece of the world that G-d has left for you to complete.
But if you only see what is wrong and what is ugly in the world,
then it is you yourself that needs repair.
Hope you enjoyed this too.
