The Hidden Subplot of Yitro’s Arrival: Family, Bias, and the Soul Behind the Story

Rabbi YY Jacobson

This class reveals the deeper layers behind Yitro’s reunion with Moshe. Beyond the “nice family visit,” it uncovers a subtle message about shame, stereotypes, and how unspoken social pressures can shape relationships. Drawing on the Maharal and Rambam’s powerful sensitivity toward converts and outsiders, and adding a mystical layer from the Arizal, the talk reframes the story as a timeless guide: real Torah living means seeing souls, healing inner conflict, and turning pain into growth and light.
