The age in which we live, has
been given many names. It is
called the "atomic age," the "hyd-
rogen age," and very often it is
called the "age of counseling." We
have vocational counselors, fi-
nancial counselors, marriage
counselors, management coun-
selors.
One of the first counselors re-
corded in history, is found in this
week's portion of the Torah. His
name was Jethro. He was the
father-in-law of Moses. He saw
Moses judging the people from
early morning until late at night.
The Torah describes it in these
words: "And when his father-in-
law saw all that Moses was doing Moses: Received sound advice
for the people, he said, 'What is

And Moses said to his father-

are doing is not good. Thou wilt

If Jethro were living today, his
quest for fame and fortune, at the
counsel would have sounded

something like this: "Moses,

understand that 50 years ago, be-

machines, such a reminder would
be appropriate. But today, with
all the labor saving devices that
we have, we ought to be the least

history. Yet, statistics demon-

are softer, our hearts are sadder
and heavier. We can do things fas-

before, but at what expense to our
bodies and minds and nerves. And
at what expense to our families!
