Tikkun Olam at Wise is an expression of Jewish spirituality and our sense of God in our lives, and our duty to fix a broken world. Our community engages in initiatives ranging from small acts of kindness and compassion to the advancement of causes that enhance justice and equity. We implement programs that improve the quality of life for those within and beyond our Wise community. By our actions, we set an example for our children and our children’s children.

WPA’s Thoughts on Tikkun Olam:

• “Our kids become used to taking — so we are teaching our kids about giving.” – Keili Lefkovitz, WPA President (2021-22)
• “The advocacy of others enabled us to seek safety and succeed — as an immigrant — so we have to give back.” – Rama Fakheri, WPA President (2021-22)
• “I value being a role model to my kids, showing them how to do charity and bring it about in their lives.” – Leila Javaheri, Tikkun Olam co-chair
