In the Kabbalah, the mystical teachings of Judaism, there is a story that God created the world out of vessels of light made from parts of God’s essence. But some vessels shattered and the shards, representing brokenness, still carry power and need to be reunited with God. Both mystical and practical effort are required to repair the world.

Moving beyond the story, we consider the nature of brokenness in our world, our role as humans in that brokenness, and how we might repair the world. What does repair look like? What are we called to do? Undeniably, this is a most urgent topic in these times.
