Dear Mendelyaner,
I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for poetry or literary readings that
are appropriate for Parshas Yisre (Yitro/Jethro). Some themes that come to
mind are Yisre, father-in-laws, the giving of the Torah, the Chosen People,
the idea of judges but there may be others. Thanks for your suggestions.
Please write to sczucker at aol.com
