Dive deep with Rabbi Pinto into the dramatic and pivotal moment in the Book of Ruth where Naomi, in her utter despair, urges her daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orpah, to return to their homes. Explore Naomi’s heart-wrenching pleas, the impossible situation of widowed women, and the critical choices made.
Why did Ruth cling to Naomi despite the prospect of poverty and disgrace, famously declaring “Where you go, I will go”? And why did Orpah, after tears, choose to return?
Rabbi Pinto masterfully unpacks the spiritual significance of these decisions, revealing how Ruth’s unwavering loyalty and self-sacrifice led to the lineage of King David and the Messiah, while Orpah’s path led to Goliath. A profound lesson on faith, chesed (kindness), and the far-reaching consequences of our choices.
