Shabbat Shalom Everyone!
This weeks parshah is Yitro. It starts with Moshe's father-in-law, Jethrow, coming to the Israelites camp to drop Moshes wife and sons off.
Then Jethrow advices Moshe to change the way he is running things. He
tells him to create a system where he has people help him solve the Israelites problems that they would usually go to him for.
The Israelites were told they have been chosen by Hashem. They responded by saying they would do what Hashem tells them. Later, the Israelites went to the foot of
Mount Sinai where there is a lot of thunder and lightening. Then, a shofar
blasted as a sign for Moshe to go up the mountain. Hashem tells Moshe the
Ten Commandments: to believe in Hashem, not to worship idols, not to use Hashem's name in vain, to keep Shabbat, to honor your parents, not to murder, not to commit adultry, not to steal, not to give false testimony against your neighbor, and not to covet. The Israelites think all of this is too intense and asked for the Torah.
