Parsha Jitro 5770 - Cheider We find that Jitsro started his relationship with the Jewish people when he invited Moshe rabenu for some food יב וַיִּקַּח יִתְרוֹ חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה, עֹלָה וּזְבָחִים--לֵאלֹקים; וַיָּבֹא אַהֲרֹן וְכֹל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, לֶאֱכָל-לֶחֶם עִם-חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה--לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹקים 12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel , to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God. The Or Hachaim makes here a remark. Why is that? We see overhere the tremendous nedivus lev (giving spirit) of Yitro. What started with a little meal for one person turns now into hospitality towards a lot of people. There is something else as well: We see that the nedivus lev of Yisro was complete. It touched on his rotson (will) to learn tora but also on the way he treated other people. He strived for shelemus and got it!
