Tikkun Ha'Aretz

What is it

Launched in 2025 at the ALEPH Kallah, Tikkun Ha’Aretz is a Spirit led justice program activating ALEPH communities and leaders to address the climate crisis and the quest for peaceful co-existence in Israel/Palestine

Why we do the work

Born out of a call for engagement on these topics from Renewal leaders who will do the work, ALEPH also has a decades long commitment to these causes. Addressing them is essential to fulfilling the expectations of ALEPH stakeholders and the broader world.

We are living in scary, chaotic and dangerous times. But engaging the collective vision, passion, power, action and prayer of Jewish Renewal is a sure-fire way to move our world towards compassion, sustainability, peace and justice. Together we will be architects of the world we seek.
