The Torah portion of “Yitro” (Exodus 18:1-20:23) discusses Jethro joining the Jewish people, the Revelation at Sinai and the Ten Commandments.

The most massive conversion to Judaism in history was the “conversion” of the Jewish people at Sinai.

Did the Jewish people actually convert at Sinai? Weren’t they already “Jewish”? Did Jethro do a full-fledged conversion or just accept the 7 Noahide laws?
