It is not upon you to complete the task, but neither are you free to desist from trying.

Tikkun Olam - Repairing the World
At Temple Emanu-El of Palm Beach, we recognize that Social Action - in Hebrew, Tikkun Olam - is at the heart of what it means to be Jewish. It is central to our identity as Jews and as a congregation.
This commitment is rooted in the prophetic vision of Judaism, which demands that we dedicate ourselves to social action and social justice. Our task is to hear the message of the prophets and to make that message meaningful in these days and in this place.
Each of us has the responsibility to do our part to help repair the world. Our tradition demands that each of us work to eliminate the occurrence and effect of poverty, to speak out against injustice and to shape a more caring society and a more peaceful world.
