***IN A NUTSHELL***
The *parasha* of *Yitro* contains two main stories. In the first story, Yitro (Moshe’s father-in-law, who is not Jewish) advises him to choose a large team of people to become leaders and advisers for the people, so he won’t get worn out being the sole leader, and so that the people will have less waiting time when they need help. Not only does the Torah show respect to Yitro and his wisdom, the Rabbis even named the *parasha* after him!

In the second story this week, the children of Israel prepare for three days, and then they receive the Ten Commandments, and the Torah, at Mount Sinai. The Torah contains all the laws on which Jewish society must be based. It is also a covenant between Israel and God. A covenant is an agreement between two people (or groups of people) where promises by both are made.
