The Day that Shook the Heavens ✡ "There Was Thunder and Lightning"

It came to pass on the third day when it was morning, there was thunder and lightning, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of the shofar was very powerful, and the entire nation that was in the camp shuddered. EXODUS (19:16)   וַיְהִי בַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בִּהְיֹת הַבֹּקֶר וַיְהִי קֹלֹת וּבְרָקִים וְעָנָן כָּבֵד עַל הָהָר וְקֹל שֹׁפָר חָזָק מְאֹד וַיֶּחֱרַד כָּל הָעָם אֲשֶׁר בַּמַּחֲנֶה שמות יט:טו va-y'-hee ba-yom ha-sh'-lee-shee bi-h'-yot ha-bo-ker va-y'-hee ko-lot u-v'-ra-keemv'-a-nan ka-vayd al ha-har v'-kol sho-far kha-zak m'-od va-ye-khe-rad kol ha-am a-sher ba-ma-kha-ne

Jerusalem Inspiration Today's verse from the chapter in Exodus entitled Jethro/Yitro, describes the greatest event of human history, when God revealed Himself to man through His giving of the Ten Commandments. Rabbinic commentators point out that Jethro is singled out and rewarded by having this special reading eternally connected with his name because he was a righteous gentile who recognized the great miracle the One True God performed for the Jewish people. Jews have always shown admiration and appreciation for the righteous gentiles throughout our history who have stood by the People of Israel; indeed Israel has always stood by its credo of equality and compassion for all those in need despite, race, religion or ethnicity.  Likewise, Israel's national blood bank provides life saving care to all those in need regardless of their personal history.
