"And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence"

The quintessential Jewish expression of gratitude is “Baruch Hashem”, meaning “Thank God,” or “Praise be to the Lord.” We find these words in this week’s parsha, but they are not spoken by a Jew. There are many paths to the same universal God.

Parshat Yitro is the first time someone says, “Baruch Hashem!”
“And Yitro said, ‘Blessed be Hashem who has rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians!’” (Exodus 18:10)
When we notice the ways that God is a blessing in our lives, we make our world a little brighter. King David advised that each person count their blessings by making at least 100 blessings each day. #Blessed

Particularly enjoyable episode of The Wandering Jews podcast, in which two middle aged dad's get high, talk about the news headlines and talk about #Judaism.

Highlight of this episode was their thoughts on #ChatGPT take on this week's #Torah portion of #Yitro

Trying to convince my coworker that we need to form a klezmer cover band called Yitro Tull.
