I am notoriously bad at names. I see familiar people and forget what they are called. So one line in the Book of Psalms always inspires in me a certain awe. It says of God that \u2018he counts the number of the stars and calls them each by name\u2019 (Ps. 147: 4). To call someone or something by a name is to endow it with significance for what it uniquely is. God knows who we are. The god of the Greek philosophers knew things in general, but not in particular: classes but not individuals, types but not persons. The dazzling assertion at the heart of the Hebrew Bible is that God \u2018turns his face toward us\u2019 (Num. 6: 26), knowing, loving and challenging each of us in our singularity. None of us is replaceable, substitutable, dispensable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are deeds we can do that can be done by no one else. That vision is not unique to Judaism \u2013 and even if it were, I hope it can be shared by everyone, for no more powerful assertion has ever been made of the dignity of the individual and the potential majesty of a human life. There are some six billion people alive on earth as I write, but no power on earth can rob each one of us of our categorical value in the eyes of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">from:
