Jewish people should
Make certain that the world is a better place. One of the ways I do
this is to deal with scum, like you, who are anti-vaccine and use
people's disabled children, as you do, in order to try to intimidate
me into silence.
I have mentioned Tikkun Olam. This is a good discussion:
"Tikkun olam" (literally, "world repair") has come to connote social
action and the pursuit of social justice. The phrase has origins in
classical rabbinic literature and in Lurianic kabbalah, a major
strand
of Jewish mysticism originating with the work of the 16th-century
kabbalist Isaac Luria.
The term "mipnei tikkun ha-olam" (perhaps best translated in this
context as "in the interest of public policy") is used in the Mishnah
(the body of classical rabbinic teachings codified circa 200 C.E.).
There, it refers to social policy legislation providing extra
protection to those potentially at a disadvantage--governing, for
example, just conditions for the writing of divorce decrees and for
the freeing of slaves.
In reference to individual acts of repair, the phrase "tikkun olam"
figures prominently in the Lurianic account of creation and its
implications: God contracted the divine self to make room for
creation. Divine light became contained in special vessels, or kelim,
some of which shattered and scattered. While most of the light
returned to its divine source, some light attached itself to the
broken shards. These shards constitute evil and are the basis for the
material world; their trapped sparks of light give them power.
The first man, Adam, was intended to restore the divine sparks
through
mystical exercises, but his sin interfered. As a result, good and
evil
remained thoroughly mixed in the created world, and human souls
(previously contained within Adam's) also became imprisoned within
the
shards.
The "repair," that is needed, therefore, is two-fold: the gathering
of
light and of souls, to be achieved by human beings through the
contemplative performance of religious acts. The goal of such repair,
which can only be effected by humans, is to separate what is holy
from
the created world, thus depriving the physical world of its very
existence—and causing all things return to a world before disaster
within the Godhead and before human sin, thus ending history.
While contemporary activists also use the term "tikkun olam" to refer
to acts of repair by human beings, they do not necessarily believe in
or have a familiarity with the term’s cosmological associations.
Their
emphasis is on acts of social responsibility, not the larger realm of
sacred acts--and on fixing, not undoing, the world as we know it.
The phrase "tikkun olam" was first used to refer to social action
work
in the 1950s. In subsequent decades, many other organizations and
thinkers have used the term to refer to social action programs;
tzedakah (charitable giving) and gemilut hasadim (acts of kindness);
and progressive Jewish approaches to social issues. It eventually
became re-associated with kabbalah, and thus for some with deeper
theological meaning.
And, make no mistake, neurtalization of the evil you spread is pure
Tikkun Olam.
Jan, one more thing, for bigots of your ilk:
NEVER AGAIN!
