The medrash calls Hashem who is known as Tzur, that read it “haTzayor” meaning the painter. The best painter is the one who can produce a work of art that looks so real that you almost can’t tell. How great of a painter is Hashem that he “painted” a world to look so real that we actually call Olam Hazeh “reality”. Tikun Olam means to be mesaken, to fix, the helem that exists between Hashem and us, be tween Olam Hazeh and shomayim ruchniyos. Fix it by bringing kedusha into this world, by using this world to live a torah yiddishkeit life and by showing that Hashem is the King. That makes the veil, the helem, move away and we see the Olam HoEmes.
