The portion of Nasso is a very
interesting portion. When God wants us
to count the people, you know what the
term he uses is? Lift up the heads of
the people. But why is counting
associated with lifting up the heads of
the people? Because very often when we
count people, we really turn them into
numbers. Prisoners in camps, in prisons
are counted, but they're reduced to
numbers. God tells Moses, "Never ever
allow a count to be about that. A count
must always be to elevate the dignity of
people,
to tell each person that you are an
indispensable note in the cosmic
symphony."
