D'var Torah:D'var Torah:D'var Torah:D'var Torah: An Outsider's GiftAn Outsider's GiftAn Outsider's GiftAn Outsider's Gift Rabbi Joel LevyRabbi Joel LevyRabbi Joel LevyRabbi Joel Levy, Rosh Yeshiva, Conservative Yeshiva
Yitro (Jethro) the priest of Midian, Moshe's father-in-law, meets the Israelites in the desert just before the revelation at Mount Sinai. He hears about their miraculous escape from Egypt and Blesses God for that deliverance. The next day he observes Moshe becoming exhausted by standing alone in judgment over the people and makes suggestions as to how Moshe might behave differently. Shemot 18:10 is the verse where Yitro Blesses God for the Exodus:
ר הציל את־ה ה אש ים ומיד פרע יל אתכם מיד מצר ר הצ ה אש חת יד ע ויאמר יתרו ברו% יהו ם מתים׃ מצר
And Yitro said "Blessed be the LORD who saved you from the Egyptians and from Pharaoh, and who saved the people from under the hand of the Egyptians" The Talmud (B'rachot 54a) picks up on this blessing and asserts that Yitro sets the precedent for a particular genre of Jewish liturgy: MISHNAH: If you see a place where miracles have been done for Israel, you should say, "Blessed be He who did miracles for our ancestors in this place" ... TALMUD Where does this rule come from? Rabbi Yochanan said: Because it says in the Torah - "And Yitro said, blessed be the Lord who saved..." Shemot 18:17 is the verse where Yitro tells off Moshe for his impossibly unsustainable management style:
ה עשה׃ ר את ר אש יו 2א־טוב הדב ה אל ן מש אמר חת וי But Moshe's father-in-law said to him, "The thing you are doing is not good..." Yitro's language here mirrors the only other place in the whole Torah where something is referred to as "not good" - "Lo Tov". In Genesis chapter 2 verse 18 God says that "It is not good (Lo Tov) that the human should be alone". Yitro is given a very significant role in both of these cases. In the first, he is privileged to have not been present at the Exodus itself. Those present at, and saved by, the sea-shattering spectacle of the departure from Egypt might have been assumed to be able to Bless God's name for their deliverance. Such blessings might have flowed from their lips as they recalled what their own eyes had seen. Yitro was not there and yet he was capable of acknowledging God's role in those events. It is only he, the loving perspicacious outsider, who can teach us how to see through contemporary realities, peering back through the mists of time and distance to find words of praise. His absence blesses him and reveals his religious gifts. Only a non-Israelite can teach us those skills. In the second case, Yitro is presented as having a God-like capacity to see the deficiencies in the world and to declare them as such with evocatively divine language. Yitro sees that Moshe's role in the nation, created by his uniquely intimate relationship with God, reflects Adam's existential loneliness in the opening chapters of Genesis. If Moshe is the
only one to have spoken directly with God how could he ever consider creating intermediaries who could authentically judge the people? How would the people ever call for or accept judgement that came from the hearts of other humans rather than from the mouth of The Almighty? Only Yitro can see from the outside that Moshe's intimacy with God, left unchecked, would destroy both him and the nation. We need wise people who can stand on the outside and look inwards towards us with love. We need to have the courage to listen to the voices of those who are not us but who observe us, bless what deserves to be blessed and criticize us where we cannot see our own failings. And we also need to learn to play that role for others too; daring to see others as they cannot see themselves. As the centrifugal forces of the spinning world threaten to push us to places where we intuit that we cannot or should not talk to each other's strengths and weaknesses, blessings, and curses, Yitro reminds us that truth is truth, regardless of whose tongue speaks it, and that cultures are not, and must not consider themselves, impenetrable self-contained worlds.

Yitro, Moshe's father in law, arrives with Moshe's wife and children. The people of Israel arrive at Mount Sinai. A covenant is made between God and the nation, culminating in the awe-inspiring event of the Revelation at Sinai. 1) At the opening of the Parasha Yitro (Yitro), Moshe's father-in-law, arrives with Tzipporah Moshe's wife who had been 'sent away' and her 2 sons (18:1-6). The story of Moshe's family is fragmented, with the pieces not fitting smoothly together (see also 2:21-22, 4:18-21). Why do you think that the Torah does not give us a clear story of the line of Moshe? (By comparison, the family of Aaron is clearly documented.) 2) Yitro sees the way Moshe deals and judges the people from morning until evening (18:13-23). He approaches Moshe with 2 questions: "What is this thing that you are doing for the people?" and "Why are you sitting alone, and the whole people stand over you from morning until evening?" What is the difference between the questions? Why do you think that he added his second question after asking the first one? 3) The story of the revelation at Sinai opens with an unusually wordy introduction of the time, the place and the people involved (19:1-2). Why do you think that the Torah decided to give such full details for the opening of this event? 4) In the so-called "Ten Commandments" we are prohibited from making any image (20:3). Why do you think this is prohibited? Do you think there is a connection to the verse before it forbidding us to have any other gods? 5) The people saw the sounds and the smoking mountain and moved away. They asked Moshe to speak to them and they will listen, rather than God, for they might die (20:14-15). How do you think that the people perceived Moshe, based on their actions and words here?
