Parshat Behaalotcha 5772
This week’s parsha concludes with the incident of Miriam and Aaron speaking against Moses.
Parshat Yitro 5772
Moses’s first encounter with Jethro’s family was at a well. Jethro’s daughters took care of his flocks. Moses intervened when other shepherds would not let them water their flock.
When Jethro heard what had happened, he invited Moses to stay with them. This was good for Moses since he was a fugitive from Pharaoh. Moses married Jethro’s daughter Zipporah and they had two sons.
Parshat Yitro 5772
I am thinking of a man who I and many others consider to be a talmid chacham. I have learned from him and had the privilege for several years of having a private chevruta with him.
Yet, when I would walk over to him in the beit midrash, he would stand up to honor me!?!
Who should we honor? How should we show that honor?
