Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
It is said in the name of Rabbi Shalom Dov Ber of Lubavitch (the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe), that there are three progressive levels in the way something can be heard:

A) To hear with one's ears – listen. B) To hear with the mind – comprehend. C) To hear with all 248 limbs of the body – to sense the subject matter throughout one's entire being. (Told in the name of Reb Mendel Futerfass)
Of the many Biblical heroes, few, if any, are honored with a Parsha named after themselves, not even Avraham or Moshe. This of course, makes Yisro all the more unique.
