part 1

the story of Ruth:

Many years ago there was a famine in Israel.

Elimelech, Naomi and their 2 sons lived there, they were a rich family and when the famine started they decided to move to Moav.

After they moved to Moav Elimelech died and his 2 sons got married to Ruth Orpa and died too.

When Naomi heard that the famine ended she decided to move back to Israel, she told Ruth and Orpah that they should stay in Moav, Orpa agreed with her but Ruth didn’t! she didn’t want to live her alone.

Naomi and Ruth went back to Israel, to Naomi’s house

Naomi and Ruth didn’t have any money for food or water so Naomi told Ruth that she will go to the field to Gather some of the oats, Ruth told her that she will instead.

Ruth went to Boaz’s field, on that day Boaz came to visit, when he saw her he asked people who is she? the people in the field told him about her and he was very impressed, he told Ruth that from now on she will work in his field!

Naomi liked the idea of Boaz and Ruth getting married so she decided to match them, she told Ruth to go and ly in the field next to Boaz, Ruth did that and when Boaz woke up she told him that she want him to marry her, he told her that Elimelech’s brother- Tov have the right to marry her first and only if he wouldn’t want to marry her then he will.

Tov didn’t want to marry her because she was Moavia so Boaz did.

After they got married Ruth got pregnant, and their son- Oved was born, Oved was Ishay’s father who was the father of King David!

Part 2

Which character do you admire and why?

We admire the character Rout because she didn’t give up after her husband died and she left the country she was born in and her family to immigrate to Israel with Naomi.

When they immigrated to Israel Ruth worked in the field every day to bring food.

We think that the fact that she didn’t give up even though it was very hard is admirable.

What does receiving the Torah mean to you?

Accepting the Torah means to us that we are the chosen people and this is a sign of our alliance with God and that we get to believe in someone and walk in his way!
