Episode Synopsis

Yitro, once an advisor to the Egyptian throne, rejects idolatry to serve the One true God of Israel. What does it mean to be called as "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation?" And why is the Torah portion that includes the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai, named after a non-Jew? These are just some of the compelling and intriguing questions that Rabbi Chaim Richman and co-host Jim Long tackle in this episode of the 'Jerusalem Lights' podcast. With wisdom, humor, and personal insight, our hosts explore the historic, spiritual, Torah-based relationship between Israel and the Nations...a 'reciprocal relationship of responsibility.'
