This Week’s Torah Portion: Yitro – יִתְרוֹ (Exodus 18:1–20:23)

“Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because Adonai descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently.” Exodus 19:18

Moses encounters God at the burning bush in Sinai at the mountain of God. He sees a burning bush and speaks to God. Moses is told to go back to Egypt and bring the Israelites to the same place. And now at the same place that Moses encountered God all the Israelites encounter the Divine. Everyone, you do not need to be a priest or a prophet to encounter God, no need for mediation, we all face God equally.

Parsha Yitro – יִתְרוֹ Torah Summary:

Yitro brings his daughter Zipporah and her two sons, Gershom and Eliezer, to his son-in-law Moses. (18:1-12) Moses follows Yitro’s advice and appoints judges to help him lead the people. (18:13-27) The Children of Israel camp in front of Mount Sinai. Upon hearing the covenant, the Israelites respond, “All that God has spoken we will do.” (19:1-8) After three days of preparation, the Israelites encounter God at Mount Sinai. (19:9-25) God gives the Ten Commandments aloud directly to the people. (20:1-14) Frightened, the Children of Israel ask Moses to serve as an intermediary between God and them. Moses tells the people not to be afraid. (20:15-18) Yitro – יִתְרוֹ
