Moshe attempts to persuade his father-in-law Yitro to accompany the nation to Israel. Yitro is hesitant, telling Moshe he must return to his land & his birthplace. Yitro's final decision remains an open question.
Soon after leaving Har Sinai, the people begin to complain about the lack of meat, & about the Mahn. Moshe is frustrated, but Hashem tells him to appoint 70 elders to help lead the nation. Then Hashem sends flocks of quail that the people catch & eat; those who had previously complained about the food eat so much quail that they die from over-eating.
The Parsha ends with Miriam lamenting to Aharon how Moshe is too busy leading the people to have a normal family life. This is judged as lashon hara, & Miriam is punished with tzara'at & must stay outside the camp for seven days.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
