The New York Times says:
Lee Zeldin, the first Jewish administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, on Thursday affixed a mezuza — a parchment scroll inscribed with Jewish prayers, encased in a small rectangular case — to the door frame of his wood-paneled executive office at the agency’s headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue.

...Many Jewish religious leaders praised Mr. Zeldin for publicly celebrating his identity. But for Jewish environmental activists, the reflection was on something different: Mr. Zeldin’s role in weakening rules designed to limit pollution and global warming.

The obligation to repair the world, or tikkun olam, is a central concept of Judaism. But in his position as leader of the E.P.A., Mr. Zeldin is overseeing a profound overhaul of the agency.

"Tikkun Olam" is not a central concept in Judaism. And the concept of tikkun olam that exists - not in the Torah but in the Talmud and Kabbalah - has nothing to do with environmental or social justice issues.

It is a term hijacked by social justice advocates who happen to be Jewish. 

Judaism has nothing against environmentalism. There are plenty of Torah passages about protecting trees and the safeguard the Earth.  It is too soon to tell whether the EPA under Zeldin is helping or hurting the environment. 

But what I can say is that the EPA had spent hundreds of millions of dollars to things that have nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with "social justice." It has sent tens of millions to groups that are anti-Zionist, anti-American and pro-Hamas

This money, as well as EPA money for DEI,  is hurting Jews. For Jews to complain about the "tikkun olam" part and ignore how money is being spent to attack their own people is not moral - it is perverted.

The people who are aghast at Zeldin putting up a mezuzah on his office door are the ones that support his agency giving money to those that want to destroy Israel and America. If there are any Jewish hypocrites in this story, it is they, not Zeldin.

Not that the New York Times would report on that.
