Ruth! #ruth #jewish #rabbi #religion #torah

I am so inspired each year when I read the book of Ruth on the holiday of Shavuot because very often religion can become institutionalized and it becomes about party lines and color War and who fits in and who doesn't fit in but Ruth was a person who came from another Nation she was not compelled to join the Jewish people there was nothing in it for her there was no Celebrity Status there was no publicity there was no Fame there was no validation when Ruth declares where you go I go where you sleep I sleep your people is my people your God is my God where you die I die it demonstrates what a real relationship with God is about it's about truth authenticity never about fame or garnering attention
