I.SING.FOR.THE.TREES

Norah: There’s this part of Judaism that I like. Tikkun Olam. It said that the world is broken into pieces and everyone has to find them and put them back together.
Nick: Maybe we don’t have to find it. Maybe we are the pieces.

I just love this quote.  The first time I saw this movie, as embarrassing as it is, I cried at this part.  I have spent a better part of my 21 years of life VERY involved in my local and national Jewish community and we placed a high value on Tikkun Olam.  To hear it in a movie moved me so much.  I feel like I radiate the very essence, the very meaning of this concept of Judaism.  I pride myself on the community service I have done, trying my best to “put the pieces back together.”  To quote Michael Scott from The Office, “My heart is so full right now.”  Even just writing about this, my heart swells and i Can feel my face lighting up as I reflect back on all I have done.

Goodnight for now, Tumblr.  You have stolen my heart :)
