This portion includes the Ten Commandments, but is named for Moses's father-in-law, Jethro, who visits him for the first time after the Exodus, and provides useful advice about how to delegate judicial power to others.
I have written before about the importance of acknowledging -- and listening to -- one's in-laws, even if relationships with them can sometimes be difficult. I was so fortunate to have a close relationship with my own mother-in-law, Rhoda Kadalie.
Rhoda was many things, including a brilliant political analyst. Like Jethro, she could often take one look at a situation and understand how it needed to be changed. She's the only person I know who predicted Trump's presidential victories, years in advance -- twice.
In the end, Jethro goes his own way, and returns to his own land. With in-laws, no matter how close, one must the importance of boundaries.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
- Matisyahu - award-winning reggae artist, on his new album, "Ancient Child"
