In a world pervaded by cynicism, where people have been jaded
by negative life experience, Yisro introduces a refreshing contrast. He models
the trait of receptivity-- an openness to inspiration. Yet, this admirable
trait can be misconstrued as gullibility or naivete. In this shiur we will
discover how along with his earnestness he must also come to possess a healthy
dose of skepticism, and that we too, must accept Torah from this position of
balance.
