This week Jews around the world read Parshat Yitro/Jethro, the Biblical
portion (Exodus 18-20) describing the greatest event of human history, when God
revealed Himself to man through His giving of the Ten Commandments. Rabbinic
commentators point out that Jethro is singled out and rewarded by having this
special reading eternally connected with his name because he was a righteous
gentile who recognized the great miracle the One True God performed for the
Jewish people. Jews have always shown admiration and appreciation for the
righteous gentiles throughout our history who have stood by the People of
Israel. Get more incredible insight in the complete set of the Israel Bible,
with the original Hebrew text and a classic English translation, alongside
commentary to better illustrate the significance of the Land.
