50 Tikkun Olam Jews of 2024/25

Embracing the Jewish imperative of repairing the world

This is the first annual Jewish Association of Spirituality and Dreams (JASD) list of Tikkun Olam Jews.

Our imperative, as Jews, is the meta-mitzvah (good deed) of Tikkun—repairing the world. By performing mitzvot, acts of loving kindness, we heal and transform. 

We recognize these 50 truth-tellers, activists, academics/public policymakers, legalists, artists, healers, and politicians who strive to bring truth, justice, and peace to our tumultuous world.
