Tikkun Olam

Tikkun olam is a term that comes out of Jewish thought and means "restore all things" or "repairing the world." C.S. Lewis, through the voice of Mr. Beaver in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, said, "Aslan will put everything to rights." That is indeed what we believe Jesus began to do when he ushered in his Kingdom in the first century and even today he is accomplishing through his people.

As we gather for PigFests around the world, we seek to have a Tikkun Olam action from every discussion. During the last 15 minutes of the PigFest, each person will be invited to consider and propose practical applications from the discussions of the evening -- charting the course to the ways in which we can, together, help bring about this restoration, or "tikkun olam," as a consequence of our gathering.
