The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

and Bogota will welcome back to Parsha Perspectives for today. We have the privilege of reading and learning Parshas Yisro together. Every Parsha is the most important Parsha of the Torah. Whatever Parsha we're reading that week is the most important Parsha in the Torah. But arguably, many people think this is Parshas Yisro, of course, contains the Aseres Hadibros, the Decalogue. We stood at the base of that mountain united and as one and received that Torah, the most seminal moment of all of human history, and it's in this Parsha. And so, whatever week something is in the Parsha is the week that we live it, that we BRS member, you're already doing your part. You're helping cover the costs, the security, the parking, the coffee, the slushy, and the guy giving the share. If you're not a BRS member, we welcome you, we want you, we invite you, and we want you to learn with us in person or virtually online. All we ask is that you help us out. Help us provide all those things. So, if you're a BRS member, thank you, you've done your part. If you're not, please join our BRS Global. This are the two weeks that we do our campaign. We've got to get to our goal. We're only at about 12% so far. If someone wants to stroke a check and get be grateful to come given the weather elsewhere. No matter how cold it is here, it's still warmer than it is elsewhere. Partial source of page 394. Vayishma Yisro Moshe. Yisro came to Moshe with the Israelite nation of Yisro Israel from Egypt. Yisro, Midian, the father-in-law of Moshe heard all that God had done for Moshe and the Jewish people, that he took us out of Egypt, that he took us out of Egypt. Vayishma Yisro. Yisro heard.
