About the Project
If you have clicked onto this site, you have heard the call for justice.
We live in a world in desperate need of repair. War and genocide continue despite our promises of “never again.” Poverty, crime and disease embitter the lives of countless people around the world. Global warming, caused largely by our own failings, threatens life as we know it on the planet.
The good news is that we can repair this damaged world. By addressing the root causes of injustice and taking thoughtful action, each of us can make a difference. And we can make an even greater impact when we work together.
The Righteous Indignation Project aims to bring together progressive Jews working for social justice and environmental responsibility. Our goal is to help inspire, educate, and organize all those dedicated to the ongoing task of tikkun olam.
Resources:
- Righteous Indignation: A Jewish Call to Justice, a book published by Jewish Lights, provides over 35 essays by activists, intellectuals, and organizational leaders covering a wide range of topics, from immigration reform to global warming to LGBT rights.
- The Resource Center on this site is an interactive library, based on the same software as wikipedia, that allows you to post resources or locate resources. These resources are both spiritual and practical—Torah and tachlis.
