About this listen

 In this episode, Rabbi Angela Buchdahl explores why Jewish tradition forbids directly counting people, requiring census-taking through numbering coins instead of individuals. She connects this ancient wisdom to modern dehumanization, explaining how the the Torah's instructions to "lift up the heads" means to see each person's unique gifts rather than as a number. Join her for a short guided meditation for recognizing the sacred worth of every soul — including our own.
