Tikkun Olam - making the world a better place.

The term Tikkun Olam means "repairing the world". Tikkun Olam is an integral part of Jewish life, as it is the promise to improve the world as part of the divine mission, because in Judaism we see ourselves as partners with God. This individual ability to act, which results from the fact that the Jewish Messiah has firstly not yet appeared and secondly comes from within their own ranks, differs radically from the Christian idea of the savior.

Mirna Funk and her guest Lars Umanski ask: How much activism is there actually in Judaism? And what can "The Last Generation" and others learn from Jewish pragmatism and realism?

Lars Umanski was born in Kharkov, Ukraine, in 1997. Shortly afterwards, his family emigrated to Germany as part of the admission program for Jewish quota refugees. He discovered Jewish, especially Hebrew and Yiddish folk music at an early age, which had a strong influence on his Jewish identity and which he still cultivates today as a passionate amateur singer. Since 2016, Umanski has been increasingly involved in the Jewish Student Union Germany (JSUD), serving as Vice President from 2019-2023. Umanski is currently studying law at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
