Struggles and Resilience
The Book of Numbers tells of the Israelites’ struggles and resilience during their 40-year journey through the wilderness. These stories reflect the perseverance needed in modern social movements.

In the Numbers chapter, I examine the critical issue of education and the threat of book burning. Education is the foundation of personal and societal growth, and free access to knowledge is essential for nurturing informed, critical thinkers. In a world where censorship and the suppression of ideas still occur, it is vital to champion the right to learn, explore, and grow without fear. By promoting unrestricted access to education and resisting efforts to restrict knowledge, we empower individuals to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to a more just and enlightened society.
