The Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam translates from Hebrew to “Repairing the World.” This new exhibition for families and children explores ways in which we can fulfill this value in our daily lives, through appreciation and protection of the natural environment. The exhibit focuses on three central themes — appreciating the beauty of nature, understanding our responsibility to take care of the natural world, and using our resources responsibly — and looks at these themes through the lens of Jewish values.
