God’s World

Tikkun Olam means “fixing up the world.” Eli and his mother go out into the country and discover that Man has polluted God's Creation. Eli’s mother explains to him what happened during the seven days of creation and how Man has changed God’s world. “But it’s not too late yet,” Eli’s mother says, “to set things right.” She shows him what even a young child can do for Tikkun Olam.

In a Special Section at the end of the book, the author outlines easy and fun ways that parents and children can work to clean up their neighborhood.
