Making it Count: Census Data Connecting Us to Community (featuring Emily Jasper)
Description
A Torah portion about a census? Riveting stuff, right? We are familiar with census taking, for both the good of managing resources and community programs, as well as for excluding or retaliating against populations. But a census can tell a deeper story than a simple count of a population. Homeless services rely on Point In Time counts, but the number tells a larger story of school performance, history of redlining, and even voting access. TBE member Emily Jasper explains that in order to truly practice Tikkun Olam, we must know our community through the numbers. Temple Beth-El is committed to leading people into growing relationships with Jewish community, wisdom, and practice that help them thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and that inspire them to build a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world. TBE Richmond Podcast is produced by Abby Miller. Our theme music is composed and produced by Stephen Frost.
