Why Did The Name Of The Program Change?

Before the 2009-10 programming year, Tikun Olam in Tel Aviv became Tikkun Olam in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. We added Jaffa to the name to reflect the actual name of the municipality of Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv-Yafo. This addition also emphasizes our newly expanded presence in social action work in Jaffa, and respects the long and proud history of the city, one of the world's oldest and most important port cities. The spelling of tikkun was slightly altered to reflect the conventional usage employed by the Union for Reform Judaism.
