This week, Elliott continues his series of 3 episodes looking at the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam - the repairing of the world.

You can read the Jewish sources Elliott talks about here.

You can read Avi Shafran's piece in the Jerusalem Post here, and Thomas Friedman's Op-Ed in the New York Times here.

Next week: Elliott finishes the series by considering the idea of tikkun olam we find in Lurianic Kabbalah, and finally reflects on what ideas from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries we might want to keep.
