Tikkun was a quarterly interfaith Jewish left-progressive magazine and website, published in the United States, that analyzes American and Israeli culture, politics, religion, and history in the English language. The magazine has consistently published the work of Israeli and Palestinian left-wing intellectuals, but also included book and music reviews, personal essays, and poetry.
In 2006 and 2011, the magazine was awarded the Independent Press Award for Best Spiritual Coverage by Utne Reader[2][3] for its analysis of the inability of many progressives to understand people's yearning for faith, and the American fundamentalists' political influence on the international conflict among religious zealots.
The magazine was founded in 1986[4][5] by Michael Lerner and his then-wife Nan Fink Gefen. Since 2012, its publisher was Duke University Press. Beyt Tikkun Synagogue, led by Rabbi Michael Lerner, was loosely affiliated with Tikkun magazine. It described itself as a "hallachic community bound by Jewish law".[6]
In April 2024, the magazine announced its was closing due to a lack of funding, and the poor health of its founder Michael Lerner who could not find a successor.[7][8][9]
