#MythologyMonday : numbers, math and calculation
There is a #myth / #superstition (take your pick) in the #Jewish tradition that #Jews should not be counted - at least not directly. It is considered bad luck. This is sometimes ascribed to the biblical verse: "And the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which shall neither be measured nor counted".
Unsurprisingly, Jews have found ways around this. For example, in synagogue there is a tradition of a minyan - ten people must be present in order to say certain prayers. It is customary in some synagogues to use a Torah verse that contains ten words instead of using numbers.
I recall a family story of some long ago relative naming the expected guests as they set the table, putting down a plate for each person, rather than explicitly counting them.
Late at night, I think of you.
