Introduction: Shaping the World with good Deeds

Commitment plays an important role in Judaism. It is deeply rooted in Jewish values and traditions. The concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and the religious duty of charity in particular motivate Jews to be actively involved in helping their community, society and the environment. Voluntary commitment for society not only aims to contribute to the positive development of the world but also strengthens the Jewish identity and the sense of togetherness.
