One of the million reasons I am proud of being Jewish is because of the concept of “Tikkun Olam.” This phrase, which translates to "repairing the world," is a central value of Judaism and invites us from a young age to stand up against injustice, problems and limitations, challenging us to find a solution. The idea of Tikkun Olam teaches us that we have a personal responsibility to work towards creating a better world for all people.

For me, being Jewish means having a deep connection to this concept and the belief that every person has the potential and the obligation to make a positive impact in the world, to challenge the limits and limitations and to step out against any kind of injustice. It is for this concept, added to the love for knowledge, that thousands of our brothers throughout history have made and continue to make innumerable contributions in all fields of knowledge that improve and make this world a better one.

I feel proud to belong to a community that educates its members so that each one, individually, feels the need, the obligation and the possibility of leaving their mark and making a contribution, no matter how big or small, for make the world a better place not only for the Jews but for the whole mankind.
