Watching "Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas" on PBS. So many popular Christmas songs (Holly, Jolly Christmas; Let it Snow; Silver Bells, White Christmas) were written by Jews. Interesting, reflective show.

Karisa Rudolph written by Robert May first as a coloring book. He based the story on his own childhood as a Jew in the US. "The point of Rudolph is to be appreciated for what he us . . . We don't want to not be Jewish, but we don't want to be alone." 4y
Karisa Gosh! "Do You Hear What I Hear?", "Walking in a Winter Wonderland," too. Were any Christmas songs not written by Jewish people? ? So loving this show that celebrates America's multiculturalism! 4y
coffees 6pts!! 12-15 it's nice if it's a celebration, often I find we call it our own wo reference to their origins :/ this is the first time I've heard of this :) 4y

Tikkun Olam. A jewish concept defined by acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world. The phrase is found in the Mishnah, a body of classical rabbinic teachings. It is often used when discussing issues of social policy, insuring a safeguard to those who may be at a disadvantage.

This is my goal everyday ..
This space of Litsy is the kindest place on social media bar none. Bravo. Let's keep it up. #kindnessmatters
