Hashem and Equity (Parashat Ki Tissa)

March 13, 2009 | By J. Simone Posner

Topic(s): Transgender and Gender Identity

Media Type(s): Torah Commentary

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

The author discusses the census of the Israelites taken in this portion, asking who was counted and not counted. She continues, arguing that the change of a contribution “suggested by their hearts” to a standard price for everyone is attributed to the error of humankind, and that this is not true equity. She concludes by arguing that the spiritual message of the census is to “stand up and be counted.”
