How did you find out about MASA? |

In his own words |
"Reiki is a very powerful tool for tikkun olam* and Pardes is a place where I am discovering where I fit in the Jewish world. I find myself in a very diverse community of young Jewish people exploring text in a unique way, learning together what it means to be Jewish. If you're trying to discover Judaism, Jerusalem is a good place to start." |

*Tikkun Olam: lit. "Repairing the world" -- that is, making the world a better place to live.
Over the course of years, tikkun olam has come to mean the pursuit of social justice, peace and the restoration of the environment. It is a call to repair the world through social action and acts of kindness, no matter how small.
