The Book of Ruth teaches us much about faith, courage, and loving kindness.Ruth embodies so much of those strengths

Yet Naomi's part in the story needs to be explored and understood as well.Her walk and her steadfast faith teaches us about our obligation to act on our faith with determination and loving kindness.

Clearly that is dependent on the ability to develop the vision to see all the Divine opportunities opening before us. Yet even then, after that discovery, we must work on finding the courage to act on that awareness and faith.

Naomi embodies and teaches us all about that courage and faith.

May we all learn the lessons "
