More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin
Yisro: From Covenant to Marriage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I explore Parshas Yisro and what it truly means to receive the Torah. Not as an abstract moment in history, but as a binding marriage between God and the Jewish people.
I speak about why this Parsha is named for Yisro, what his arrival makes possible, and how structure and boundaries are not limitations but the conditions that allow intimacy to survive. I explore Moshe’s leadership, the cost borne by Tzipporah and their children, and why safeguarding the Jewish home is foundational to revelation.
We look at what it means to heed God’s voice not only through mitzvot, but through listening in real time, and why the Torah is given first to women, entrusted to the feminine heart to carry it into the home and into the next generation.
Yisro is not only about receiving the Torah. It is about learning how to hold holiness in the body, in marriage, in leadership, and in daily life.
