Rosner’s Torah Talk: Parshat Yitro with Rabbi Seth Adelson

[additional-authors]
February 13, 2020

Rabbi Seth Adelson’s rabbinic work has focused on making connections, on helping people find meaning in Jewish text and tradition, and on demonstrating the value and power of living Jewishly. He is the rabbi of Beth Shalom in Pittsburgh.

This week’s Torah portion – Parashat Yitro (Exodus 18:1-20:23) – begins with the advice given by Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, to the people of Israel, and continues to tell us about the gathering of the people of Israel at Mount Sinai and about the giving of the Ten Commandments.
