Jewish tikkun olam as legacy framework

Tikkun olam — the repair of the world — frames legacy as participation in an ongoing project larger than any individual: the incomplete work of making the world more just, more whole, more worthy of the creatures who inhabit it. No one person finishes it; each contributes their portion and passes the work forward. Legacy, from this view, is not a monument to the individual self but a contribution to a collective project that precedes and will outlast any of us.
