The Tikun Movement was founded in 2012 out of the understanding that Israeli discourse needs to be enriched with Jewish content and values that are attentive to the challenges of Israeli society. Educators, public intellectuals, and social activists came together to create and integrate this vision into Israeli society in a creative endeavor that spans cultural, artistic, and philosophical domains.

Together with our many partners, we have succeeded in bringing the tradition of piyyut (Jewish liturgical poetry) to center stage, contributing to an active and expanding discussion on traditionalism, defining and clarifying the value of togetherness that gives space as rooted in Jewish sources, and fostering intellectual renewal in the idea of heritage-based enlightenment.

The need to reexamine Jewish purpose and Israeli existence in the wake of the catastrophe of October 7 presents a vast field of initiatives and ideas to which we feel committed to contributing. Even though dozens of organizations, hundreds of social activists, and broad audiences have been exposed to the Tikun Movement and its ideas, the challenges ahead leave us far from resting on our laurels.

My hope is that Tikun, alongside other organizations and institutions, will continue to play its part in the national missions facing Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
