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:

• “Learning for students at Wise goes far beyond academics. They learn how to take care of people and our earth through Tikkun Olam. That stays with them for life.” – Tiffany Gabbay, WPA Co-President, 2023 – Present
• “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
