Mission and Goals

Tikkun Rising is the name of the non-profit organization that has formed out of the Tikkun Token project. At this time, the primary work of Tikkun Rising is the Tikkun Tokens project, but who knows what the future may hold!

 Mission Statement

The mission of Tikkun Rising is to raise up Tikkun Olam, or repair of the world, by amplifying and recognizing acts of kindness and supporting individual and community repair. 

At this time, the primary work of Tikkun Rising is to support the Tikkun Tokens project. 

Tikkun Tokens Goals

​​Tikkun means “to repair” in Hebrew. Tikkun Tokens are based on the Jewish idea of “Tikkun Olam”, or “repair of the world”.  Tikkun Olam is the idea that our purpose on the planet is to repair it and to make it better than it was when we got here.   Performing and recognizing simple acts of kindness, particularly with people we don’t know,  is one small way that we repair the world.​ To learn more about how Tikkun Tokens started, click here. 

​Research shows that doing and witnessing acts of kindness not only helps our world, it can also help our brains. 

Tikkun Tokens accomplish three goals:
  • REINFORCE: Tikkun Tokens reinforce the kind and thoughtful behaviors we all want to see more of. 
  • REWIRE: Most of us are overwhelmed with constant news about bad  things and it has a negative effect on our brains.  Encouraging people to look for the goodness happening around them can actually help re-wire our brains by strengthening the connections related to happiness. 
  • RECONNECT: Humans are born wanting to connect with each other.  Just watch most children on a playground and time how long it takes them to make a new friend. Tikkun Tokens give people a tool to remember how easy it can be to connect with someone we don't know yet.
