Ruth #2: A Tale of 3 Relationships & a Triple Reincarnation - By Rabbi YY Jacobson

my giving up my human leaving no they are sir she Iike my you may come I know a holiday [Music] come [Music] she [Music] you need me no he cousin a your your she may leave me yes yeah [Music] good evening and welcome to the yeshiva dotnet where we are globally studying the Book of Ruth the Book of Ruth in the Bible in the Tanakh exposes us to a world of deep pain and misery but also to the lofty heights the human spirit is capable of climbing the Book of Ruth takes us to the edge of the abyss but right there it constructs a silent and dignified ladder to the sublime majesty the human heart and soul is capable of cultivating let us recap the opening story of chapter 1 le mela and his wife naomi and there are two sons Malone and Killian relocates from base Letham from Judea from the Land of Israel to the east to the plains of Moab in today's Jordan this is during a time of famine le Malik was a very wealthy and influential man he his wife and two sons relocated there in the plains of Moab tragedy strikes le Melek dies his two sons married two Moabite women Ruth and Orpah they lived there for around ten years and after 10 years both of the sons are dead there are now three survivors the old mother-in-law the widow Naomi and her two daughters-in-law ruse and ARPA Naomi decides to return back to her homeland to base left him to the Land of Israel and she beseeches her two daughters-in-law to leave her to go back to their homeland to go back to their mother's home she blesses them to find husbands and live a life of serenity and tranquility but the two daughters-in-law don't want to leave they break out in sobs they cry profusely we could understand how tragic this moment is for them they have abandoned their home they left their people they cast our faith with two young men of a different people the Jewish people they probably looked forward to a life of great depth and and beauty and comfort and tranquility and now their world was destroyed both of their husbands are dead childless they cry but arpa leaves Vitesse shock our palaka my Severus Duff kabah arpa kisses her mother-in-law goodbye but Ruth Cleaves to her we understand our pas she's logical she's sensible she has no future with Ruth Ruth tells her I'm not going to have any more children I'm an old lady I'm not getting married I'm not even if I do I'm not going to have children you're going to wait around for my children go back home and we understand the logic of our poor with much pain and anxiety she kisses her mother and lo goodbye she weeps profusely but she finally bids her farewell to go back to her old life to her youth Ruth Ruth despite everything through stuff Kaba ruse cleaves to her mother-in-law somehow there was an inner voice and ruse telling her not to leave to follow her mother-in-law back into a people that she'd back into a land which is not her land the people which are not her people and she tells her mother-in-law those words one of the most moving short speeches and all of the Bible where you go I will go where you Lodge I will Lodge your nation as my nation your God is my God where you die I will die and there I will be buried by the way the commentators point out that the name ruse consists of three letters reserved of stuff which is the gamma Tauri the numerology of 606 and the symbolism is profound because the Jewish people were given 613 mitzvahs the non-jewish world was given 7 mitzvahs known as the seven Noahide laws so ruse as a non-jewish woman had seven mitzvahs as she converts and becomes a Jew she is now given another six hundred and six mitzvahs so initially she has seven and now Ruth's gets another 606 in addition to the first seven Noahide laws which are universal the other 606 laws which is unique to the Jewish people we now continue inside right below the video you have a PDF curriculum with all over the text that you can follow and we continue Ruth chapter 1 verse 18 prosecute s Vitara kee missa met Cecile Alexis eita attack Adela debris Lau when Ruth saw when Naomi saw that her daughter-in-law Ruth was determined to follow her she stopped talking to her she stopped trying to convince her persuade her to go back three times she told them to go back she offered was to go back after ARPA left but she saw that ruse would not listen to her Ruth was determined to go so Naomi backed off she allows her to come with her persecutors Vitelli Nash named at by Annabella I'd be on a bass lesson both of them travel from o'er from the east until they come back to the Holy Land to the city of bass lesson via he cavae on a bass lesson as they arrived to base lesson VAT a.m. call her ear alayan the entire city was aroused into a thunder of commotion about them but time iron and people said as ice Nami is this in IO me as the which explains they looked at Naomi and they remembered how years and years of those she walked around with such royal splendor as garments she had such an aristocratic and rigid demeanor she had an aura around her and now as the Midrash points out in Madras rabbaroos she was wearing schmatta s-- poverty-stricken bereft of her family of her reputation of her wealth fat am color here the city was was thundering that this was the talk of the day has iced nami is this the same Naomi the Midrash asks how is it that the whole city was talking about it it seems like the whole city was in one place how fast as news travel especially in those days when they didn't have our technology today but the whole city was talking about it it means that the whole population of base left him somehow gathered convened and the mid ridge gives three interpretations three very interesting interpretations interpretation number one is as the verses will soon point out this was the time of barley harvest they arrived on the first day of Pesach the time of the harvest of barley which precedes the harvest of wheat barley grows before we usually the season of barley precedes a little bit the season of week now in the Jewish tradition on the second day of Passover on the 16th day of Nissen there was an offering brought to the sanctuary to the Michigan of barley flour no one has the carbon Omer this was brought on the second day of Pesach and on the night before the Jewish people would gather to the field from which they would harvest that barley which was then used to produce flour which was then offered in the Michigan or the besan victors on the second day of ASA says the Med which according to the first interpretation that they were now harvesting barley from a field on base led him to bring the next day as an offering in the sanctuary in the Mishkan and hence the city gathered and that's when Iommi and her daughter-in-law Roose arrived and based less on another interpretation is that the judge of the time as I mentioned in last class the Jewish people that didn't have a king for 390 years they were ruled by judges from the death of Yahshua of Joshua who brought them into the land till the coronation of the first King Saul Saul so for almost four centuries there was a judge and at that time the judge was a man named if son in fact many sources most sources associate boas who were soon going to explore with this man if son who was a judge and he had 30 songs and 30 daughters and he was marrying off one of his children so everybody came he lived and based left him everybody came to the wedding a third interpretation a very different interpretation is a man Boas who was a leader who was a judge ift's on his wife died and everybody was going to his funeral so they came it is a different interpretation it wasn't necessarily the holiday but everybody was coming to the funeral so imagine they're coming mow off from the east they're coming from the east and they come to base let him into the land the cemetery is at the edge of the city they come in when everybody comes to say goodbye to the wife of boas and people see naomi and the question is two words has a tsunami as this Naomi can this happen to a human being when such a transformation when such a metamorphosis it's hard for people to believe the transition sometimes you look at a person who one day was sitting at the top of the world and the next year or years later ends up in the abyss and you wonder how does such a thing happen as I saw me off Naomi responds by Tamara Lee and she tells the multi crinoline ami don't call me Naomi any longer cranly mara changed my name call me Mara which means bitterness Kihei Myers shoddily me I'd because God has given me a lot of bitterness don't call me Naomi anymore now the Malbin one of the commentators explained something very interesting and he gives actually a metaphor without the dollars but he gives this metaphor imagine somebody was worth fifty million dollars and then the recession came and wiped him out and now he only has two million dollars in the bank he considers himself a poor man right yesterday at 50 million dollars today he has two million dollars he's a poor man but of course relative to another person he's a very rich man how many of us how many of you would mind to have two million dollars in the bank all you need is two million dollars in the bank so everything is relative for him he's a poor man for somebody else he's a very very rich man so Naomi is telling them you know sometime is when you could you compare my presence to my present situation of my past situation you say relative to what she was now she's very very poor so Naomi says no it's not just relative to what I was I'll take your NLE Namie even if my past name was not Naomi which means sweetness even if in the past I wasn't so successful and affluent and influential and wealthy you could still call me bitterness today my present difficult situation is not just compared to what once was but even according to the standards of poverty I am truly bereft of everything an email a parsec a file of an email a elasti I have left this place full very calm has Shivani ashram but God has returned me empty I left with everything I came back with nothing lama secretly na me why do you call me Naomi which means sweetness Hashem unabie God testified against me with shaadi hey rly and the Lord has afflicted me with much pain of Bey's vataj of naam even résumé a vehicle OC Marsh of amis de Mai of Naomi and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law together with her who returned from the fields of morph so Naomi returns together with her Moabite daughter-in-law who returns from the fields of moe of Bahama bow based lesson but he last saw him when did they arrive and base let him in the beginning of the barley harvest not the wheat harvest but the barley harvest and this is significant because this is the time of Pesach they came at the time of Pesach in the beginning of the barley harvest and bass lesson the commentators want to know why does it say hush of them is de Mai of her daughter-in-law who returns from the fields of mow of obviously that's the whole narrative that they're returning from oh we know it already there are different interpretations but as the Midwest in ruse explains one of the interpretations is that this would be the first person to return from mow off to the Holy Land this would be the first instance of a convert from the Moabite nation joining the Jewish people because as we shall see in the future classes this will become one of the key dramatic points in this narrative can a Moabite convert and become a full-fledged jewel peyrac baize the second chapter of ruse Naomi and Ruth are now back in base left him it's the beginning of the barley harvest passuk Aleph Olin ami model Ayesha now Yomi had a relative this was a relative of her husband her deceased her late husband le Mela that was a relative East Gilbert Ryle a man of great strength and valor mimmish Paris le Melek of the family of le Melek though with the husband of Naomi who Schmoe Boas this man who was of great reputation of great valour of great strength spiritual strength his name was Boas how was he a relative to Alamelu so rashly explains from the Midrash that there were a few brothers four brothers le Melek was one brother another brother was salmone another brother was the father of Naomi and another brother was a man named toys for brothers in other words Naomi was married to her uncle to her father's brother le Mela she was a niece of la melena Salman one of the brothers had a son whose name was Boas so le Mela was Boaz's uncle because le Malik's brother had a son whose name was boa Celie Mela is Boas as uncle Naomi as a result is both a first cousin of Boas literally a first cousin both of their fathers are brothers but because of her marriage she's also an aunt of Boas because her husband Elimelech his boss's uncle now this is important because their lineage the Gomora tells us above a bastrop age sada Calif they were children of national enemy nodos national Mahna Mahna Davis from the tribe of you Hooda in action the Sonoma nada means the famous Noxon who led the Jews into the Red Sea they are the children of an action or the descendants of nation' but they come from that lineage nashumba nominative great great great great lineage from the tribe of you hood so Naomi has a cousin it's her husband's nephew it's her first cousin his name is Boas as I mentioned earlier according to many opinions Boas was actually a judge a show fate one of the Jud many judges that led the Jewish people which means he was a leader of his generation and this was the judge described in Tanaka's if son but regardless as the verse says clearly he's an eg bro Kylie's a man who's who has a great reputation who's of great strength physically morally and spiritually PASOK Bey's but I'm a ruse am i AVL Nami ruse the Moabites tells her mother-in-law Naomi Elkanah sada I will go to a field vile act abyss she Bolin and I will glean the ears I will glean the storks a car uh sure MC hain be enough following somebody in whose eyes I will find favor of a time airline she tells her Latifah T go my daughter now this needs a little bit of explanation what is going to happen here one of the most majestic laws in Judaism has to do with the way a farmer an owner of a farm or a field harvests his grain and fruits when you harvest grain the Torah commands the owner three laws laquet sheikah and pea pea means you now little Harve is the edge of your fields you have to leave the edge of the fields intact for poor people men and women to come and glean from the edges of your field there's another law known as lek it lek it is if one or two stalks fall down while the owner or his employees are harvesting his grain his wheat as barley as spelt as oats as right as he's cutting them one or two stalks fall down to the ground to the earth or they fall from his hand that's called lek it he's now let a pick them up and take them he has to leave them on the ground for the poor man or woman to come and take this is only one or two not three if three stalks fall from his hand or when he cuts them three then he's allowed to take them but if it's one or two he must leave them for the poor people this is called lek it there's a third law known as chica chica is after he already makes bundles from the stalks of grain what we call sheaves amar iam aluminum after he makes bundles let's say he forgets one sheave in the field he's now let her come back and retrieve it again he has to leave it for the poor person but not more than one if there's two bundles that he forgets or three or four then he can go back but if he forgets one six he leaves it for the poor people these are three laws lek at six and pea now look at pisaq Bay's and you'll understand the ruse the more of AI tells her mother-in-law Naomi I will go to the field by a lock the bishop o'linn and i will utilize the Mitzvah of lek it I will look at the stalks the ear is that fell down and I will lick it i will glean them i will gather them because jewish law permits me to do it now these are two hungry women they don't have anything so she offers to go and glean the stalks to be able to feed herself and her mother-in-law the Malbin points out something very majestic and beautiful she was a very aristocratic woman according to our sages she was the daughter of a king she was the daughter of the Moabite King she was a princess herself or at least a descendant of the king all her life she lived in prosperity and great luxury now imagine she's going to the fields with poor people and she's standing around and waiting for the farmer or for the farmer's employees to forget their - to lose a stalk that a stalk falls down and she's gonna go get it retrieve it but yet she told her mother and lo let me go doing let me go and do it because I will not be embarrassed for you for Naomi to do it it would be very shameful this was a woman of great aristocratic a background who lived here for many years in affluence for her to do it it would be very embarrassing but for me to do it I'm ready to go and do it to protect the dignity of my mother-in-law and the malbim says that's why the PASOK says ruse Amaya via plastic base begins rooster Moabite says why she identified here as a mole of white woman and the answer is she was saying I'm from a foreign nation I'm from a foreign culture nobody's gonna know who I am so whom be embarrassing for me but you my dear mother-in-law you stay back you stay home where ever they stayed and I will go and collect collect the money now it's interesting because certainly Naomi could have gone to her old friends to her relatives including boas her nephew and and asked them to help her out but she didn't want to both of them didn't want to they didn't want to ask for charity they didn't want to become beggars and asked for people to help them they wanted to be able to earn their own food what the law allows them lek it is not charity lekha there's an obligation it's a majestic obligation but it's an obligation that you have to leave this for the poor people and belongs to the poor people that they were ready to take they did not want to go ask for charity the Benesch sky one of the great commentators Rapinoe Yosef came from Baghdad he has a commentary on ruse it's called a mamela the mother of the king and he says something very interesting he says the reason why the posture calls Rousimar via rooster Moabite is because she wanted to do what's called tikkun she wanted to rectify something and that is the torah says in Deuteronomy in Paris he said say that the ammonite and mower vide cannot join the community of guard they cannot be accepted as full converts Allah shall a kid know as Campbell Ephraim on my invitation omits I am when the Jewish people the nomads were traveling in the desert they would not work for you any bread and water the fact despite the fact that you need it you needed it so desperately and we're going to discuss this verse a little later on because this is a major theme in this story how was ruse accepted as a convert but because the Moabites showed cruelty and apathy to the faith of nomads roosts decided she's going to rectify it she's going to transform it the Moabite was going to go out and help her mother-in-law sustain herself she would forego her dignity and a royal background the royal blood that was flowing in her sinews and she would go like a pauper to feed her mother-in-law now pasa gimel continues Vitale Vltava Vitalik aid by sada a Korea coram she went she came and she gleaned in the field after the Reapers after the harvesters as they were cutting if one or two stalks fell down from the from the from the bushes or from their hands she went and gleaned them via care McCrery and coincidence chanced upon her hell Casas Adela Baez she went to the part of the field that belonged to boas a Shemesh Bacchus early my work who is as we know from the family of le Mela it happens to be that the field that she chooses to go and glean the lek it from is the field of bias she follows the Reapers and whatever falls from their hands she now goes and gleams so now understand this majestic institution and Judaism you're a farmer you're harvesting your barley your wheat other grain other fruits and what's happening the poor man and woman come into the field they're right behind you and they collect this right after you this is an institution in Judaism that had to happen in every field no one has madness under him the gifts to the poor people now over here you should be asking this question the passage begins about Taylor she went vltava she came about to lack HC gleaned it should have been the other way she when she gleaned and then she came back she didn't go and come and gleaned right the Vilna gone in his commentary on Russ says something very practical and very pragmatic he says some people don't realize they're very very hungry and they come into a field and they see stalks of wheat available they right away lift them up and then they go and go and go till the edge but then they have to come back the whole way and they're carrying an extra burden what roosted was first she went through the whole field she checked it out and then she came back and on the way back she lifted up all the fallen stalks so said she would not have to carry them twice that's what the Vilna Gaon explains there are other interpretations but this is what he says why is this important to emphasize here you'll see how a small detail sometimes really opens us up to the nucleus of the story a small little what seems like an error in presentation and syntax really contains within itself a profound message she went she came and then she gleaned on the way back because sometimes people make major changes in their life but they're not really sober when they make these changes they're not fully thought out they're not reflective something overtakes them maybe a crisis or maybe a great revelation or joy they lose themselves in a particular process and they decide to change their whole life but what happens is when they sober up they regret what they did and they leave everything behind this is common for many people especially when they're younger Roose changed their whole life and in such a dramatic way and it's not that she was given promises of richness and a bright future she did not know what awaits her which is why her mother-in-law pleaded with her to go back to her royal ancestry there's nothing for you in the Land of Israel she's going to have to get married find the right husband will a Moabite woman be accepted even even if she will be accepted will she find the person she was already married once it was a complicated situation with the family she now has to come back start all over again it's a new nation it's a new people she comes with nothing with no food with no money with no home with no relatives her mother-in-law herself is bereft of everything was she sober was she mature so the Tanakh points out here she was not an impulsive person she was very thought-out every step was thought-out her changes in life were not just a revelation of a moment just a trigger a spark that took over she was a very mature person she was an adult and she was thought out it's very interesting because there are two books in the Tanakh that could be defined as the books of love she Reshiram the song of songs and ruse she Reshiram is studied on Pesach Passover Russa studied on schmooze why if you study the book of sugar Sharon feared the love is stormy the passion is electrifying the romance is exhilarating the feelings are transformative the descriptions are graphic and since sensual and powerful and intense xie xie MS the book of love representing the youth Peyser when everything becomes ripe and the love is very intense and powerful lewis is already had her katsu it's now cargo if it's not the holiday of ripeness is the holiday of harvest it's also a book of love but here it's subtle it's very mature there's a lot of silent and subtle and consistent loyalty conviction dignity kindness it's an attachment it's a transformation in life that it's very very deep and very subtle it's not loud it's not tumultuous it's not for me it's not graphic but it's very mature it's very consistent it's very real it's very authentic there's a mad rush a beautiful mad rush meander shrubbery roots in Chapter two and you'll have it in your suit you have it in your sources where a murder is a dinner pesetas says Magilla zu amble a tamale tie really is early after the scroll the book of rules has know of none of the laws of purity none of the laws of ritual impurity none of the laws of what is forbidden of what is permissible no Jewish laws it's a story about the Moabite girl who comes back to the land with her mother-in-law and finds her soulmate voluminous devar abs area says so why was it written why was it transcribed there's no element of Loyola Lambda Chi mascara telegram the Kassadin to teach us the rewards that are there for people who are kind it's the book that embodies a life of dignity and kindness of loyalty and commitment of conviction and real dedication and love so ruse was not impulsive she was deliberate she went she came and she gleaned but now I'm going to give you the capitalistic interpretation just from a different plane completely I presented the Vilna guns interpretation there's also the interpretation of Rashi from the Meldrick well-known interpretation that basically Ruth's did not just go to the field and glean but as rashly explains about Taylor's vltava she went and she went back to make for herself a sign of what's the path from her home to this field because there were many fields it's easy to confuse and get lost and she wanted to stick to this field so she made she went and she came back and made for herself a path that she should be able to recognize it and then she went to glean here again we see that she was very thought-out she was not impulsive but the outset Rubino moishale says in his commentary on ruse gives us a Kabbalistic mystical interpretation and for this I have to give a little introduction and this takes us into the world of gilgul in the world of reincarnation Roose came from ooph what's the origin of the Moabite nation the origin mobit nation is the portion of I era Saddam is destroyed there is one survivor lote he lost his wife she became a year she became a piece of salt when they left Saddam and Gomorrah which was being destroyed he survived with two of his daughters they end up in a cave apparently they think that just like in Noah's time civilization has been obliterated Humanity is dead and the oldest daughter of Lloyd turns to her sister and says nobody will be left we want to have children so we're going to intoxicate our Father tonight and have intimacy and that's what happens the first night with one daughter another night with another daughter and children are born and the first child is named mo of which actually means may are from the father it was her way of saying that this child's father is also his grandfather because he was conceived from my own father might of and this was the origin of the Moabite nation the Kabbalist explained souls often reincarnate reus was a reincarnation of one of the daughters of light the mother of morph rousu lived in mohel who came from mo of came from that family she was also reincarnation of that soul but now you have to understand something else ruse one day is going to marry a descendant of you Hooda she's going to marry a man named Boas who comes from you who de which child of you oh yeah how they had many children but then you heard I had a very strange relationship with a woman named Tamar which was his daughter-in-law and everybody knows the story this is impartial valuation of you who'd there had two sons Aryan own and they both died he also had a third son Shayla now a was married to a woman named Tom er when a died in the system of Yeadon Leverett marriages Tom were married the second son Onan she married her brother-in-law a dark childless so in the system of hidden Leverett marriages if a man is married to a woman and he dies childless there is the option that if he has a brother she marries the brother and the children will be called the first child will be called by the name of the deceased brother so Tamar marries the second brother Einon her brother-in-law Onan dies you who doesn't want her to marry the third boy Shayla because he's scared that she's killing her husband's he doesn't want his third son dead she's desperate because she's bound to shaylen a levirate marriage you hood is giving all of these excuses because he does not want Tom Martin to marry Shayla and what does she go and do she engages in a relationship with you Hooda the commentators explained that before the Torah was given ye boom was not only with a brother-in-law but it was with any relative so she couldn't get her brother-in-law Shayla because you who - her father-in-law was refusing to give her a look so what is there to do for her to go marry outside of the family she was bound up in a relationship with Shayla so she enticed her father will you who does she was cloaked by octave Arizona she thought she was a harlot and she engaged in relations with her and she becomes pregnant and she gives birth to twins parrots and Zahra now initially he sentencer her when he hears that his mother his daughter-in-law is pregnant he sentence her to death because she's bound up already in a relationship with Shayla in this Leverett commitment and she committed adultery but then she sends to you hood though that collateral that he gave her before they had relations and he she says Lisa Shayla lawyer Murphy Haram in pram pregnant from the man who gave me these objects and vehicle you hood the very much sought care many you would that recognizes it and he says she's right it's from me I'm the one who had relations with her and she's saved she gives birth to twins parrots and Zara parrots is the great-grandfather of boyars now let's see what the kabbalah tells us the Kabbalah says listen to this the daughter of light was reincarnated into Tamar and then was reincarnated into Roose Lloyd the man in the relationship was reincarnated into Yehuda and then reincarnated into Boas so the relationships happen in three stages in history between the same souls Lloyd has a relationship with his daughter they give birth to a son named Moe of Tom Marr who's a reincarnation of that daughter has a relationship with you who does a reincarnation of Lloyd Boas who's a descendant of Yoda will have a remarriage with ruses a dis who's a reincarnation of Tamar let's see it in the words yehuda is the numerology of 21 in small numbers you who do you this 10 you'll have it in your sources you have any new sources you can look up in your sources you who do this 10 and then you have hey volved Allah hey now gamma tree is numerology come in two forms miss poor God let mr. cotton which means the large number and the small number one is the full-fledged number and one is you take that number the way it is between one and ten in other words the original origin of that number so you'd in misper cotton is one because we don't go more than ten we stay from one through nine so what's your you'd is one and then you have a hey is five you have another hey is another five is ten you have six and four is six and four is ten so you have twenty-one you hooded misper cotton is 21 right now light what's light in misper cotton so you have tes is 9 and + 6 is 15 and LOM it is 3 because we're not doing the 30 we're doing 3 everything and misper cutting a small number so you have 18 18 so you who does 21 in small number light is 18 now light has three incarnations right light you hood then bias that makes 21 18 and 3 makes 21 Reus and Tamar both begin and end with the same letter Roose begins with aeration ends with a tough summer begins with a tough and ends with a race so there's a relationship between you Hooda and light 18 and 21 also light has three letters so with the kollel if you're familiar with the laws of gematria 18 is light with the coiler which with the three letters of the word it makes 21 which is the geometry of you hood now look at the three relationships look how these three relationships play themselves out the first time the husband Lloyd is unaware that anything is happy that is unaware of anything happening he's drunk he's inebriated he's intoxicated completely he doesn't know anything he doesn't know that she lied down he doesn't know that she stood up he's clueless he is drunk that's the first phase in the relationship the second time light reincarnates in Yehuda the daughter of Lloyd reincarnates into Tomer they also have a relationship this time you hood is not drunk he knows that he's having a lationship but he doesn't know with whom he's clueless as to the person he's having a relationship with he knows he's having a relationship but he doesn't know who that person is she's cloaked he doesn't know it's his daughter-in-law Hummer who is in a desperate situation and is basically engaging in a form of a levirate marriage the third time the relationship will happen it's with complete awareness complete knowledge complete exposure it's a husband and a wife who will marry each other roots and boss the woman in each case knows exactly what's happening the husband in most cases does not know what's happening there was a lot a lot of depth here to this whole whole story now the been each sky in this commentary a mamela explains that's why when the Tanakh introduces roots and ARPA there's a strange expression in the beginning of ruse it says shame jaquez ruse I'm sorry shame jaquez ARPA machine machine is ruse the name of the first woman was ARPA the name of the second was ruse and the question is roost song she Marilyn she married masculine or / married Killion ruse should have been mentioned first wise ruse mentioned a second so the Bennish guy explains based on the ocean that ARPA was a fresh sole ruse was an reincarnation so say maracas the name of one soul this is the first time she came down as ARPA shame a shame is ruse was already coming back again shame her Sheamus is ruse according to this the house just explains this is what it means she went she came and she gleamed VAT Taylor VAT over what a locket dr. Marshall sure but Taylor's means she already lived and she died vltava she came back to this world Vata locket and she gleaned the fruits of her first activity the soul reincarnates and gleans the harvest of what it did in a previous lifetime because ruse was already here but she left the daughter of light was here but she left now she came back to glean the harvest of what she did this theme will be clearer and more explained as we move on with the story so she's now in the field of Boas and she's gleaning the ears in the stalks that have fallen PASOK Dalit Vahini Boas bummy based lacquer behold Boas came from bass lesson to his field via a Murloc oyster him and he told the reapers Hashemi Markham may the Lord be with you he greeted them may the Lord be with you bye young mule and they told him you were a Shem may God bless you the Vilma gong gives here a very interesting and daring interpretation Roose was a beautiful woman her features were outstandingly attractive to the extent that it says in Madras robbery ruse on the words via kare on the words via kare Micra and pasa gimel she chanced upon the field of boyars it also comes from the word carry which is the reproductive

belong who where is she from who's her father who's her family he asks about this person there's many people in the field but Boas asks about this person why did he ask about her rashly explains from

complete from the God the God of Israel under whose wings you came to dwell what are these two terms buyer says your Shalimar Shemp always ot he must score Tex Lima God should pay for your Paul for your activity and your scar will be complete what's the difference between the two the malbim explains Paul is an employee or worker who takes a job and you pay him for the job you give your suit through your address to a tailor and you ask him to do the job or her to do the job and you pay them for the job scar represents the reward of a sucker of somebody you hire for a specific amount of time sometimes there's work sometimes is less work more work no work but they're always available when there's work you hire a secretary to work for you some days there's a lot of work some days there's very little work but whenever you need the work she's available you're not paying her for a specific job you're paying her for the time a Jew says the malbim engages in two types of work one is toil at different moments there is a job to be done a certain Mitzvah to be done but then there is the concept of a scar a jew is committed to God all over the time seven days a week 24 hours a day 365 days a year he or she is committed to God there an ever - I'm I'm a servant of God and therefore when anybody anything comes up that's needed that's necessary to do the work of God this person is available and this is what Boas was telling us you shall a marsh and Paul a God should pay you for your activities every individual deed of goodness of kindness of morality you get paid for you get rewarded in addition to he my school takes leymah I sure boss - Laxus but Selk enough of the very fact that you came to dwell under his wings is a lifelong commitment that's not relegated to a specific act - indeed at one time or another time it's a general commitment that this is who you are I'm God's ambassador to to the world and that expresses itself in many different acts in many different moments it manifests itself in so many different ways now there's a very strange meddra sheer madness Robert says America sir Abha sir said your were reward should be complete assure bustle axis but celkon office that you came to dwell in the shadow of his wings the question is what does he add to what the past success so many commentators discussed this and many explain according to the malbim that the greatest reward for a mitzvah is the mitzvah itself the greatest reward for serving God is not an external reward the greatest reward is that you have a relationship with God skaar Mitzvah Mitzvah the greatest reward for torah mitzvahs is not just a reward in this world or next world you're going to have great paradise the greatest reward is the opportunity to have a relationship of truth the opportunity to be one with truth the opportunity to be one with Emmis with a Shem that's the greatest car so this is what Boas was telling ruse God should pay you for your activities OT he my skirt that Schlemmer but what's your sleigh Mose Dickus car what's your complete reward you want to know what your complete reward is a sure bus the last pack ask enough of that you were given the opportunity to be part of the divine you were given the opportunity to be connected to God to be under his wings in the shadow of his wings that's the greatest that's the most

hosaka and you have spoken to the heart of your maid Vaughn Ophelia carcass when really I'm not even worthy to be one of your maids I'm completely foreigner a complete stranger and yet you have comforted me what is Roose telling Boas may I find favor in your eyes she is there any found favor in his eyes he is already praised her he is already consoled her what is she asking for there's different interpretations but I'm now going to give you a mystical cabbalistic / mathematical interpretation that's presented in the commentary of the Benesch Saira Banu yosef Hyomin is a mamela Khan ruse and you have it in your sources and now listen to this the word Boas is consists of three letters Bayes I in Zion the acronym is bayes's bein honest I an e dis Zion zebras bein honest means intermediary a this means superior superb delicious zebras means inferior lousy it's basically usually used in Talmud as three types of land there is real estate that's in this it's the best there is Zee Boris sits it's lousy and there's bein honest right they say in real estate its location location location so something's about location same building here it's in this here it's bein this here it's a Boris or it's the quality of the earth the quality of the land now we mentioned before the reincarnations there were three relationships that were really three reincarnations light reincarnated into Yehuda and then into boas the daughter of loathe reincarnated into Tamar and then interests the first relationship is defined as Z Boris it was an inferior relationship it was a daughter with a father which is immoral he was smashed he was drunk he wasn't aware of the relationship it was an inferior relationship she did it for good reasons because she thought the world was destroyed them better to have a future even if I have to do it this way but it was a boris the second relationship is defined as bein in this it was soso I mean it wasn't between a father and a daughter but it was it was not a regular marriage you hooda thought she was as owner she was a harlot as the Torah says and he didn't know who it was it was an intermediary relationship finally I mean you can't compare it to the first relationship because Tom our tumblr was permitted to marry you who did was not immoral in fact that the end they got married according to most interpretations they got married it was a permissible relationship but it was bein honest it wasn't the best situation finally the third reincarnation boas and ruse was a perfect beautiful marriage according to the highest standards of Torah and of morality suck the Benishek I go back to the pasta givataim arulu says M sustain the a Natha I want to find favor in your eyes a NACA also means in your iron I now hope to get the iron of boas the Indus type of relationship with boas kini come Tony because you comforted me and you spoke to me and therefore you gave me hope that an icy logic a cursive chris.cesca our marriage won't end up like with a maid when you marry a maid which is not complete marriage and betrothal rather it's going to be a complete full-fledged marriage obviously at this point nobody was talking about marriage but the Bennish hai is giving an intimation what she might subtly be referring to consciously or sub consciously persecute knowledge via meliboeus biased Hauser let a Sahil at the time of the meal go you see how long I want you to come here thou shalt mean I left him you'll eat from the bread I don't just want you to be a poor person and glean the spokes and go home come and join us for the meal you'll eat from the bread Vltava pita behemoths and you're going to dip your bread in vinegar but a submits a dacoit stream she sat down on the side of the harvesters by Yeats but law Kali and he gave her Kali which is a delicacy made of grain its parched grain but title she ate but teases bar she was satiated by toy sir and she even left over from the bread and from the parched grain now it's interesting because in the whole Tanakh the word law is always with a dot in the hair you read it law it's called map ek you read it with honor could a dot in the head there are three exceptions in Tora in Paris mottos in the VM in Scalia and exhume in Rose and this is the third exception of law without a dot in the haver I'm a law which can also read law not so the Med which explains by your email a bias bias told her no because at the end of the last post she told bars I'm not even worthy to be one of your maids but you yet treat me like one of your maids so boa said Loy and you have it in your sources Loy aim at me now a moyes elemina Emo's you're not one of the maids you're one of the matriarchs you're one of the mothers the law is also a law you're not one of the maids you one of the mothers could she's going to be the mother of the Davidic dynasty of the family of royalty he tells her you'll eat bread and you'll dip it in vinegar why is that relevant I mean he's inviting her to the meal invite her to the meal and when she comes to the meal give her vinegar according to one of interpretations and the commentators he's telling her something very deep you're going to eat bread you're going to be satiated but the bread is dipped in vinegar which is which represents the pain the pain that you went through and the pain of life the pain of life boas is here making a subtle tribute to Ruth's experience in the past and even in the future you'll eat bread and you'll be satiated but I know that this bread is dipped in the vinegar Tesla velvet Occam lelaki after the meal she stands up to glean the stalks by itself by as a start of lame her bows and structs his lads to say Gombe no Miriam to locket let her glean stalks even between the sheaves Veloz Ashley more don't embarrass her usually with other poor people the supervisors would make sure that the poor people were not stealing and taking from the sheaves which doesn't belong to them don't embarrass her don't check after her let her glean everywhere Tusayan the gum soil to show the long minutes fussing and I want that for her sake you should forget some of the bundles this is a fascinating commandment usually if you forget a bundle you can't retrieve it I want you to forget it for her sake I want you to make believe you forgot it in other words just leave it there as though you forgot it so she can come and take it if I was after let it go leave it there abandon it the lichte and let her take it let her glean it velay sigue Rupa and do not scream at her do not get upset at her use iron butter Lockheed Basu Dada Arif she gleaned in the field till night Vikash Boyd ASA Shelly kata and then she beat that which she gleaned by he ka fficer Aryan so that she ended up with an ephah of barley kernels on eighth of our Laguna's around 21 kilograms of barley kernels why did she beat it so she should be able to take it home why should she take it home with all over the husks she first beated so she retrieved the kernels and then she went home with the very kernels that can then be ground into flour which can then be kneaded with water and baked into bread you tes Vaati serve at over her ears she carried her 21 kilograms of barley kernels and she came to the city this was in the field now she came to the city where the people lived rata raha my sister Sharell Akita her mother-in-law saw what she gleaned but tight say and ruse took out from her bag about t10 line she gave her mother-in-law a sari sirrah me Sava that which she left over from her meal around Boaz's table he ate and he gave her food as we remember bread and part grain and she gave what remained to her mother-in-law the time Elohim I suppose acute tests her mother-in-law tells her a friendly cat I am we did you gather today for uh neurosis and where did you make all of this food Hema qirush Barack let the man who gained acquaintance with you be blessed but ah Gaede la camisa a Sasha assessory my so she told her mother-in-law what she did with him with Boas but timer and she said shame me to share Assisi in my iron by us the name of the man with whom I did today what I did today is boas now this is a very strange expression what does it mean she told her mother know what she did with him the name of the man which I did with him it should have been what he did with her for her not what she did for him or with him she didn't do anything for him he did for her and on this the Midrash says that inimitable statement yo you sir me Masha Bowser me Masha Bella bellissima Omni Omni is my bias you have it in your source more than what the owner does with the poor person and for the per person the poor person does for the owner and ruse recognized that it's true she was on the receiving end but she did not forfeit her dignity because she understood I didn't choose to be poor and you didn't choose to be rich divine providence made you rich and me poor made me rich made me pour in you're rich don't lose perspective true you're doing something for me you're giving me food but I'm also doing something for you I'm giving you the opportunity to give so reus emphasizes that what i did for him Shaima isha share a CCE may the name of the man whom i did something for she had perspective she had dignity even in this situation she understood that even that richness and poverty is ultimately a thing of the Spirit now I'm going to conclude here with a gavel the key insight of the of the Bennish hi again again a Kabbalistic insight now listen to this it's also an insight of the baal shem tov in a different interpretation god's name is made up of four letters you and hey and love and hey right and you'll see it in your sources now if I have money or I have food and a poor man and I see a poor man I see a poor man so I take out a nickel or a dime or a quarter of my packet of my wallet and what does that coin look like which letter in the alphabet does the coin look like that small little coin what does it look like the you derived that small seminal point now I take that coin and I place it in the palm of my hand what does the palm of my hand look like right there hey five fingers hey is five it looks like the hey and then I clinch my eye I close my palm and I stretch out my arm and I give it to the poor man and what does disarm make up look at it which letter is this love and I place it into the palm of the poor man or woman and what is that that's a hey so what did I just generate I just generated the energy of you'd and hey and evolved and hey says the Baal Shem Tov that's why you have to make sure that you're the one who offers the charity before he or she asks why because if he or she has to stretch out their arm first so then two things happen first of all you confuse the energy because the verb comes before the hood and the most intense energies youhave of a but if the poor man stretches out his arm first the vote comes before the youth and the hey in the last hey there's also another difference if I stretch out my arm first then all the first three letters belong to the wealthy giver the youth is the coin the hey is in the palm of my hand the verb is my arm goes out and the poor person has the last hey but if the poor person stretches out their hands first so then it's divided I have the unit and the Hey and the poor person gets the love and the hey says the Bennish guy listen to this her mother-in-law tells her on a seesaw what does uh Narciso mean persecute has on now sister where did you do it's a strange expression what did she do first she says a friendly cat I am where did you glean great but what's see so weird did you do what does it mean weird did you do says the Benish guy and look now in the verse honor should be divided into two parts on hey a sisa where did you build the last hey of God's name why because when she saw that ruse didn't come home only with stalks she also came home with Carly with parted grain she realized that ruse was given the food she didn't ask for it cuz she knew her daughter law she knew the dirt Allah was not going to ask for charity or for food she's not going to beg she's going to take the forgotten sheaves and the fallen spokes which she's allowed to take according to law she's not going to beg for charity suddenly she has her food this means somebody gave it to her if somebody gave it to her so that person had the hood and the hay and devolve she only had the last hay so she says uh Narcisa on heya sisa by whom did you build this last letter of god's name the hay and Iommi continues yeah he machi raised burro the one who gave you the charity should be borrow borrows means blessed but baroque is also a combination of two words RAV curve of the majority of curve of above is 26 the name of God youth cave of K is the numerology of 26 Ralph's curve of means the majority of hub of the majority of God's name because the uniqueness of this person was that he gave you the charity and therefore he built the energy of the majority of God's name the youth and they and of of came from the giver and you only built a hey the recipient he realized the unique opportunity to give to help somebody else who is this person who love Bert Davo who built the majority of God's name and only made sure that you only have to do the hair you only have to take you don't have to stretch out your arm and beg and that's also the deeper meaning I think Boas tells the Reapers by youry malachite some Hashemi Maha God is with you why did he tell them God is with you earlier what he was saying is when you stand in the field and you're harvesting stalks and you help another person you give them charity what you're doing is you're creating God in the world you're creating the energy of youth cave of K Hashem in Malcolm by taking food or taking a coin and giving it to the needy and giving it for a worthy cause our semi Muslim you're building youth cave Africa in the world you're creating a conduit for the light of the four letters of God's name in the world when you're the one who initiates it when you don't have to wait for the person to beg you initiate it then you get to build the youth K and love and the recipient only has to build the Hey have a good night see you next Monday night for the third chapter of the Book of Ruth [Music] [Applause]
