Description
Numbers count. Since the days of King David, our numbers have been a source of contention. Today is no different. Should we count intermarried couples as Jewish? Jewish Buddhists? Will the controversy over how Jews are counted and who counts as a Jew ever abate? This month, the journal Sh'ma explores these questions in the context of demography and more: We ask about how, and whether, numbers ought to determine policy: Who are we as we count ourselves? How do we count on the world's stage as Jews? In addition, three contributors -- representing three different points along the spectrum of years -- reflect on Psalm 90, "Teach us to count our days," and two writers wonder about the legitimacy, or wisdom, of counting.
