[Avodah] Yisro (Interesting gematria)

[Cantor Wolberg]

The g’matria of Yisro is 616. The gematria for “HaTorah” (the Torah) is also 616. 
Yisro was the father-in-law of the most important prophet who received “The Torah.” 
Also, Rashi informs us that Yisro had seven names - Re'uel, Yeser, Yisro, Chovev, Chever, Keini, and Putiel. 
He was called Yeser (addition) for he advised Moshe in the matter of the judicial system, 
thereby adding on to "The Torah." When he converted and fulfilled the Mitzvos the letter "Vav” 
was added to his name, hence the name Yisro.
