"But fixing takes tools. For
us Jews, mitzvot are the tools
in our world repair kit.
Mitzvot are actions through
which we fix ourselves and
the world. ...
"Mitzvot are Jewish acts
which we are commanded to
do or commanded not to do.
Some Jews see them as Di-
vine orders. Some see them
simply as good deeds. Yet
there is something special
about the mitzvot. They help
make us into better fixers and
they help us fix the world."
(Tzedakah, Gemilut Chasa-
dim and Ahavah: A Manual
for World Repair by Joel Gr-
ishaver and Beth Huppin).
