Hear the News Firsthand
Yisro was a pagan high priest; Midian, his home
Hearing news that the Red Sea split, and about Amalek
He turned in his vestments, gave up his place on the throne
Through the hot barren desert did Yisro trek
To hear it all from his son-in-law Moses firsthand…
We can all learn a lesson from this remarkable man
‘Amalek-types’ scoff, “I heard about that; I needn’t move a muscle”
But those with aspirations, off to hear ‘Moses’ they do hustle

This Saturday morning, the Torah portion read publicly in synagogues is
Exodus 18:1 - 20:23, in which the 'Ten Commandments' are given to
Moses and the Israelites.
