In the
Torah Portion of Yitro, G-d gives the 10 Commandments to the Jewish
people at Mount Sinai. According to our sages, Yitro, Moshe's
father-in-law, was a High Priest of idol worship who came to realize
that these beliefs are false and converted to Judaism. Jews do not try
to persuade others to convert. But we do welcome sincere converts like
Yitro, who come on their own!
At the Giving of the Torah, all Jewish people were considered like converts!
