Episode: [Unedited] Rachel Naomi Remen with Krista Tippett

The book "My Grandfather's Blessings" contains stories about Rachel Naomi Remen's grandfather, a mystic and storyteller. The book reflects on the Jewish tradition of "Tikkun Olam", the idea of restoring the world, and the importance of healing the world one heart at a time.

"

It's true. That would have been your orthodox rabbi grandfather. And student of Kabbalah.

He was a flaming mystic and he was also a magnificent storyteller.

This is a very important story for our times that we heal the world one heart at a time. And this task is called Tikkun Olam in Hebrew.

They're exactly the same. I didn't know. I did not know that those two come together. Tikkun Olam is the restoration of the world.

And this is of course a collective task. It involves all people who have ever been born, all people presently alive, all people yet to be born.
