                              Tikkun Olam

                              Repair of the World

                              If you offer your compassion to the hungry
                              And satisfy the famished creature
                              Then shall your light
                              Shine in darkness
                              And your gloom
                              Shall be like noonday

                              - Isaiah 58:10 -

                              PCS is deeply committed to Tikkun Olam—repair of the world. Need knows no bounds. It is not separated by country, age, gender. We see the earth and all its inhabitants—people, animals, the land—as precious, each requiring care, love, and help. It is built into our oldest traditions. A love for Eretz Yisrael, the land of our foremothers and forefathers, of our fellow Jews today.

                              We believe that we have obligations handed down to us from Abraham and Sarah, from Noah, from the judge Deborah, and King David that require us to help those in need, attend to the ill, support those who have had fewer advantages than we have. We believe we have an obligation to preserve the environment and to protect our rich but finite natural resources.

                              We encourage—even challenge—each of us to participate in the many projects that help repair this world. For we are ultimately known by our deeds.
