Aliya Summary: Moshe accepts Yitro's suggestions and selects the
judges. Commentaries point out that the actual qualifications of the
judges that Moshe selected were more "modest" than Yitro had
recommended. In theory, the very highest caliber person should be sought
after as judge. In reality, we often have to settle for the best we can
find in our society. In other words, even if our current leaders don't
live up to those of our past, doesn't mean we should respect them any
less.
Moshe sends Yitro off on his journey to Midyan (to convert his family - Rashi).
