Yitro for Teens: Shabbat Sha-raps

Yitro, Exodus 18:1–20:23

Have you ever been curious how relatable the Torah really is? A group of staff from the Kutz365 Alumni Network decided to spend an entire year rapping the weekly Torah portion, or parasha, from the Torah. Shabbat Sha'Raps started at camp in the summer of 2016, and then grew through Zoom over the course of an entire year. Filmed from Zoom boxes around the globe, this creative interpretation of Torah is a fun and easy way to understand the weekly Torah portion. Join Evan, Matt, Melissa, and lots of special guests on this joyful journey of discovering Torah!

In this parasha, Yitro brings Zipporah and her sons to Moses after all that has happened in escaping Egypt. He then tells him to appoint judges, and Moses does this. The Israelites hear the covenant from God and accept it, but there’s so much more to come: they encounter God at Mount Sinai and are given the ten commandments. Listen for more!
