Ruth’s scroll

after she was left with nothing, Naomi decides to come back for her home land childless, with misery, grief and poverty.

Naomi and Ruth comes back to Beit Lechem. Ruth went to the fields to glean, as she was there, she met Boaz, the owner of the field, he was kind to her because he had heard of her loyalty to her mother-in-law, Boaz is a close relative of Naomi’s husband’s family. Naomi advises Ruth to meet up with Boaz at night and try and make Boaz to marry her, eventually Boaz and Ruth got married and their son was born and they named him Oved, and Naomi becomes his nanny.

a character that we admire and why?

we chose Ruth, because even after her husband’s death, Naomi told her that she can come back to Moav, but Ruth insisted and wanted to stay with Naomi wherever she goes, she’ll be with her.

you can see the diligence in Ruth and her actions,

for example, when Ruth arrives to Beit Lechem she goes straight to the field to collect some wheat without Naomi being the one to tell her.

you can also see Ruth’s modesty after Boaz expresses his appreciation to her, she ignores the good stuff and always answers very modestly. she calls him “sir” and introducing herself as his slave.
