Tikkun Olam Tuesdays

Do you love words ?
Do you like a word challenge to play with from time to time?
Do you want to be able to feed people by playing a word game?
Do you feel the need to participate in making the world a better place?

Yes

I just found this amazing webpage where you get to do word games and give free rice to hungry people through the United Nations food programs. Here's how it works...you are given a word and prompted to choose the definition from 4 multiple choice responses. For each definition you correctly select, you donate 5 grains of rice. In a mere few moments you could have fed an entire family for a day. Please mark their site as a favorite and go there as often as you can. Here's the link to FreeRice http://freerice.com/ so that you can go and play to your heart and mind's content.

And this makes me think...I will offer a special feature every Tuesday on doing something for Tikkun Olam...those are the Hebrew word meaning essentially "repair the world."

Here is the Wikipedia definition of Tikkun Olam: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikkun_olam

As I understand tikkun olam...it is the responsibility of people inhabiting the earth to improve things rather than just maintain the world the way it is. I love it and I believe it completely. So play a nice word game today, feed the hungry, and enjoy the first ever Tikkun Olam Tuesday on RitaBooke's blog.
