So do as I say not as I do? Promote a lifestyle that would ensure lower birth rates and destroy the idea of family all while continuing to build themselves up?
"Tikkun olam, a Hebrew term which literally means “to mend/repair the world” has gained currency in American Jewish circles over the past 50 years and has even entered the wider American religious discourse. The contemporary connotation, with its emphasis on human agency in bringing about God’s kingdom on earth, represents both a synthesis and reinterpretation of earlier conceptual frameworks and a response to the perceived failure of Jewish emancipation and integration in the West as exemplified by the persistence of antisemitism and the Holocaust. Tikkun olam has also become a vehicle for American Jews seeking to reconcile their theology with their political liberalism.
While Jews always were concerned with social justice, its association with tikkun olam is hardly a century old and was not widely adopted in North America until the 1970s and 1980s. "
"In fact CPUSA(Communist Party of USA) had shifted its views to the point where they saw the 2008 election of Barack Obama as a "transformative triumph of a labor-led all peoples’ movement.",[62] a far cry from their previous stances.[4]"
