Yitro (Jethro) – Exodus 18:1 – 20:23

Shabbat Shalom!

How often do we hear a message and simply move on with our day? We listen, but do we act?

In this week’s powerful episode Shmuel dives into a profound lesson from Jethro (Yitro)—a man who didn’t just hear about miracles but chose to take action. His story challenges us to go beyond just listening and actually do something with what we’ve heard.

In this video, we explore:

  • How Jethro’s bold decision to leave his comfort zone led him to become a hero in the Torah.
  • Why Jethro’s advice to Moses can inspire leaders today.
  • The importance of gratitude—a powerful lesson from Jethro’s appreciation of God and others.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, wisdom, or a fresh perspective on your faith journey, this episode is sure to speak to you. Watch now and reflect on what it means to truly embrace God’s calling in your life.
