This means that G-d loves the Jewish people in their essence, at a level where one individual is not distinguished from another, on the level of ‘counting’, and also at the level of their individual names, when each person has a specific and individual task in the world. The Zohar speaks of the influence which the stars have on our lower world; the Rebbe (in a later talk) mentioned scientific findings concerning radiation from stars which can hardly be seen through a telescope, reaching the earth and having an effect3. Rashi comments on the fact that the immediate offspring of Jacob were enumerated in the Torah, in Genesis2, while they were alive, and here are enumerated again, in Exodus, generations after they had passed away. When the Torah presents the count of the seventy souls of the Jewish people, our great ancestor Jacob and the little baby girl Yocheved who was born as they were entering Egypt, were each counted as ‘one’. G-d’s love is revealed to the Jewish people as they are in their exalted Essence, and also as they are as specific individuals, limited in many ways, and facing moral and spiritual challenges. Rashi tells us that as the Jewish people, the children of Jacob, were entering and settling in Egypt, G-d ‘counted them by name’ as an expression of His love for them. It is taught that the number by which a person is counted expresses the soul on such an exalted level that it does not yet have any relationship with a specific body. For example the biblical Reuben was called this ‘because G-d has seen..’, (Gen.29:32) meaning that Reuben denotes the spiritual service of ‘sight’. This is because the name of the person links them to their own Essence; calling their name, draws life-force from their Essence which revives them.
