SUMMARY:Repairing the World from the Inside Out: <i>Tikkun Midot</i>
LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:10 East 66th Street in Manhattan
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
<i>“Tikkun olam,” </i> often rendered “repairing the world,” may seem to be an exclusively observable, empirical task. However, it is not necessarily so. There is a world inside us in addition to the world around us. This interior world requires its own mending, and consequently, Jewish thinkers as diverse as Solomon Ibn Gabirol, Moshe Hayyim Luzzato, and Rebbe Nachman of Bratzlav spoke and wrote about <i>tikkun middot</i> (repairing morally) and <i>tikkun ha-nefesh</i> (repairing soulfully) as complementary counterparts to <i>tikkun olam</i>. Together, we will consider their collective wisdom along with that in the <i>Machzor</i> (prayer book for the Days of Awe). Even though <i>tikkun</i> in all of its forms can and should take place at any time, it is especially timely as we prepare for the High Holidays.=0D=0A=
