Standing at Sinai (Part 1): Before the Fire - Yitro and the Road to Revelation

Before receiving the Torah, the Jewish people have to transition from a group of slaves to a functional society. This class will focus on the arrival of Yitro, Moshe's Gentile father in law who comes to visit the Jewish people, and how that helps shape the community that is to become ready for 
commitment.
