What sacred text is prophetic vision contained in, as well as where is the concept of tikkun olam (repair of the world)?
Orthodox Response
In Jewish tradition, all of Tanach (in English known as the Old Testament) contains prophetic vision, at different levels of prophecy. The five books of the Torah are understood to have been dictated directly from God to Moses (however that works); the works of the Prophets are the record of prophetic visions (there are differences of opinion as to how prophecy works; for one interesting view, see Maimonides' Laws of the Foundations of the Torah, chapter 7, where he is clear that prophecy is not like what we commonly call inspiration), and the Hagiographa record "ruach hakodesh,' Divine inspiration at a level that qualified to be in Scripture. The concept of tikkun olam, near as I can find it, is only first found in the Mishnah, such as the fourth chapter of Gittin, where it speaks of helping the world function well. In addition, I always am struck by people speaking of "tikkun haolam" without noting that in Aleinu, the prayer at the end of services, we speak of hoping לתקן עולם במלכות שקי, to repair the world in the Kingdom of God. Meaning, it's not tikkun olam for it's own sake, it'stikkun olam to bring all humanity to realize, recognize, and engage with their Creator. Answered by: Rabbi Gidon Rothstein http://www.jewishvaluesonline.org/1197 |
Reform Response
The overall message of prophetic vision is one where the world is transformed into a much more beautiful and peaceful world, but accomplished through human leadership with God beside us. We generally label this kind of transformation as tikkun olam, or as you have translated, the repair of the world. So the “prophetic vision” you mention is tied very closely to the notion of tikkun. Most of the prophetic biblical texts offer some kind of vision of the prophet, whether speaking about the particular future of Israel or the world in general. One of the more famous ones is the selection in Isaiah 58:1-14. In this passage referring to the ancient observance of Yom Kippur, the author advocates the performance of sacred obligations over the mere observance of the sacrificial rites of the holidays as being the highest form of actions leading to fulfillment of the prophetic vision. Isaiah 11 is a chapter which also contains a prophecy of the advent of God’s future messianic world, where all peoples will look to God for divine leadership and toward Jerusalem as the center of learning. In the Mishnah, the first stage of Rabbinic commentary on the Mitzvot found in Torah, the phrase “mipnei tikkun olam”, “for the sake of the repair of the world,” is found in relation to practical matters and not in connection to the matters of messianic transformation. In the liturgy, the concept of “tikkun olam” is found in the Aleinu prayer, said to have been composed during the era of the persecutions of the Crusades. The words we use – tikkun olam – are really a euphemism for the longer expression in the Aleinu “l'takken olam b'malchut Shaddai,” or “to perfect the world under God's sovereignty.” This could mean that when all people of the world abandon false gods and recognize the one true God, the world will have been perfected. If we employ the concept that we have established a partnership with God in the acts of tikkun-repair, we know that it is humanity’s responsibility to improve the state of the world; we accomplish this by helping others (through acts of “tzedakah,” or “righteousness”), which also brings honor to God and God’s sovereignty of the world.

ethical teachings glossary
Bal Tashkit: The Jewish notion that prohibits the unnecessary destruction of God’s creation, which includes flora and fauna. This notion promotes the notion that gratuitous destruction of creation means that another person cannot utilize God’s gifts to the world.
Gemilut Chasidim: Hebrew word meaning “acts of loving kindness” is intimately tied to the commandment that you shall love your neighbour as yourself. Examples of Gemilut Chasidim include visiting the sick, feeding the poor and comforting the mourner.
HaMascheah: Refers to the perfected world that is to come. It will reach its fulfilment with the arrival of the Messiah who will preside over it.
Halakhah: The Hebrew term for “walking’” refers to the collective body of Jewish rabbinic law, custom and tradition. The halakhah is the legal component of the Talmud, which is comprised of the rules and laws for living.
Oral Torah: The explanation of the Torah by Rabbinic teachers and Talmudic scholars that was passed from generation to generation through word of mouth. The Oral Torah became the Talmud.
Negative mitzvot: Commands to refrain from doing something.
Positive mitzvot: Commandments requiring the performance of a positive, affirmative act.

Tikkun Olam: Broadly translates to mean the repair, healing or transformation of the world. Tikkun olam is the notion that if one person saves another single human being than in effect it is as if that one person had saved the whole world. Thus, all individuals have a social responsibility to rectify the inequalities of the world by helping others, especially the poor and vulnerable.
