Yitro: The Art of Honor

In this episode of Connecting Jewish Grandparents, Sharona explores Parashat Yitro and the Ten Commandments through a modern, family-centered lens, with a focus on the fifth commandment: honoring parents. What does honoring parents look like today, especially as adults and grandparents? This episode reframes the commandment as more than something we demand. It is something we model. Honor grows from how we treat others, respect boundaries, speak with kindness, and allow our children and grandchildren to be themselves. Sharona explores how honoring parents bridges our relationship with God and our relationships with people, and how grandchildren learn respect by watching the adults in their lives. The episode offers practical reflection questions and simple actions to help foster closeness, dignity, and connection across generations. Listeners are invited to consider how they want to be remembered and what kind of ancestor they hope to become. If you are a Jewish grandparent or parent looking to strengthen family relationships and build a meaningful legacy through Jewish wisdom, this episode is for you.
