349 Phyllis Rubin: Practicing Tikkun Olam—Repairing the World
Description
At 81, Phyllis Rubin embodies tikkun olam—repairing the world. After her husband’s death, and during the pandemic and political upheaval, she stepped fully into activism. A “feet-on-the-ground” leader, with a collaborative style, Phyllis champions progressive politics, environmental sustainability, and vital community living for older adults. She earned her Psy.D. at 50, retired as an attachment-based therapist at 80, and continues to live vibrantly—singing, writing, gardening, engaging with her Temple, and devoting nearly full-time energy to social change.
"The Jewish sages tell us that we are not obligated to finish the task, neither are we free to desist from it." - Phyllis Rubin
