Neshamah Project Episode 102: Does a Golem Count?

A dream-text from R. Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin wrestles with a haunting question: what does it mean to count as a person in sacred community? Moving through golems, speech, da’at, obligation, and minyan, this reflection probes the line between intelligence and responsibility, creation and covenant. Read through the lived time of Parashat Bo, it opens a startlingly modern conversation about personhood, moral agency, and who truly belongs in holy space.
