Tikkun Olam Alert!
When we pay attention to the world around us, we notice not only signs of God's presence, such as the beauty of nature and the kindness of people, but also the opportunities to share in God's holiness by performing acts of tikkun olam.

List three signs that can alert you to the need for tikkun olam. For example, someone who is having difficulty learning a sport or subject at school, someone who needs help crossing a street, or a pet who is hungry. Explain how, through your actions, you can say, "Hineni, I'm here to help!"

Add the Brightness of Your Light
As God brought light into the world through Creation, you can add light through acts of tikkun olam. Light the candles by writing an act of tikkun olam you can perform at home, school, and synagogue.
