origin and background this sprung princess from the house of royalty of mou of today's Jordan has married a Jewish boy named mark alone after her husband dies she follows her mother-in-law who is bereft who is in mourning who was in deep grief or lost her own husband le mela and follows her back to Judea to the Land of Israel they arrived in the Land of Israel during the time of the barley harvest at spring they're hungry they're poverty-stricken they're broken their lives have been shattered the mother-in-law Naomi has lost both her husband le mela and two sons masculine and Killion Ruth Ruth Ruth has lost her husband Michael and her sister-in-law are poe married the second boy went back to mo of and Roose goes to glean fallen ears of grain in the field according to Jewish law with the poor are allowed to glean fallen stalks in fields and farms and she ends up in the field of a man named Bo Hwa's who happens to be a relative of hers because Boas was le Malik's nephew le melody recall was Naomi's husband ruses father-in-law was le Mela Alamelu nephew his brother's son was a man named Boas a great leader a great judge of man of great influence and wealth scholarship and righteousness and ruse ends up in his field gleaning stalks Boas shows particular interest in her he shows her unique graciousness and kindness invites her to the meal asks his lads to help her out and allow her to glean stalks and sheaves and so forth and gives her ohso gifts of food which she then takes home to her mother-in-law Naomi and when Naomi asks who is the one who did this for you and Roose identifies him as Boas and now will continue inside we soon reached that gripping part of the story the zenith the peak of the drama of ruse as we will continue tonight's class so we're up to chapter 2 peyrac basil resposta cough you could take a look inside you have it in your curriculum below the video there is a PDF you can open it up and we have it ohso on the screen parsec of atonement na mila hello so naomi tells her daughter-in-law Ruth boro boro hula cher mashallah service has died a sahayam the essa mason bless it is God who has not neglected his kindness both of the living and of the Dead and what she means of course is that despite our terrible financial and emotional situation as a result of meeting boas in the field they have received nourishment and nutrition and the dead God has also not abandoned his kindness of the Dead which dead we will soon see how naomi has a vision in which those of the family who have passed on Alamelu her husband and her son ma Helen who died ruses husband will somehow experience hesed kindness as a result of this encounter but time mallanna me Naomi tells ruse Carter if Lana ich this man is our relative me Galilei knew who he is one of our Redeemers now this term redeemer is an important term is going to be used frequently in the next chapters of Rousseau let's explain it according to Jewish law remember when the Jewish people entered into the land the plots were divided among the tribes and among the families each family was supposed to hold on to its plots of land as their ancestral hair inheritance and not sell it but if somebody because of his poverty sold a piece of land there was an obligation on a relative on the closest relative to redeem it to become a goal to go to the buyer and say here is your money let us have the field and the buyer was responsible to give back the field yes to her certain conditions and if not the field would go back if it was not redeemed the field would go back during Yeovil during Jubilee year once in 50 years it would go back this practice was during the first base Symington Shore when the Jews entered the land during the first Commonwealth and when most of the Jews were living in the Land of Israel it didn't apply to the second temple when the ten tribes were exhausted but in any case dance Estoril homeland was very significant there was an organic connection between the people and their real estate and their homes and their fields and it was not to be abandoned and therefore when you have a relative he's also called a Goyle a redeemer because he is the one who is responsible to redeem your property from the buyer and if the buyer already used it for a year or a few years the Redeemer of course pays less money and gets the field back so what that really remains in the original family so she says Boas is migoi elena who he is one of our Redeemers here redemption will also include another element which is connected to marriage but let's not get ahead of ourselves Kavala fighting Marissa Mayer via rooster Moabite says to her mother-in-law gham kiya Marella he also told me Boas also told me mine are a master lead to the bucking Adam killua's callicut Serra surely you should cleave to the lads that are working with me until they conclude they culminate harvesting all that belongs to me in other words you stay with my people with my lads with my employees with my Kevlar with my group be here stay here till they finish the harvest you will be gleaning stalks and ears of grain you will be taking a sheaves you'll eat with us you'll drink with us as he said earlier until the harvest is it's finished what's interesting here is that the pus ik identifies her again as a Moabite we know who ruthless but here she's again identified rusame a via the madras rava on ruse explains that this is because of a slight change she made when she repeated the words of boas to her mother-in-law Boas actually told her earlier in paraguay's you should spend time with nya i with my female servants with the female with the young girls who are working in the field she says in Muharram in the mail because she came from mo of the mattresses and in mo of there were no boundaries between the genders the concept of sensitivity to the intense energy that exists between men and women and therefore to maintain the purity and the sacredness of both the women and the men there are bow injuries there is a recognition of the intense energy that God created between the man and the woman and therefore there are bow injuries in the relationship mo of did not recognize so Ruth's is identified as a mafia because she again confused the two indeed positive BAE's vitamin amia ruse naomi tells Roose Carlos or her daughter among toys bTW it's good my daughter kiss 8cm now I serve that you go out with his medians Villa Eve GU Bach Posada ahsha so that you don't to meet people of another field this is the field where your have experienced kindness and grace where you're appreciated where your cherished stay in this field you see Naomi changed back to na I rose sub again in the female form tussock of gimel voted back Banaras bias Roose cleaved with the medians of Boas lalaki that closed serious early democracy have hidden the glean grain until the conclusion of the harvest of the barley and the harvest of the wheat Fateh shove s camisa and during this time she dwelled with her mother-in-law as the Midrash points out the harvest of the barley the beginning of barley harvest till the end of the wheat harvest which is usually a little later than the barley harvest is approximately three months so we're dealing here with a duration of three months from when they arrived in Judea which has roosts at the end of chapter 1 says was in the beginning of the Harley Harvey bar lists the beginning of the barley harvest sorry and here at the end of chapter two we're finished the wheat harvest so we have here a period of three months from their arrival until this point which we're now going to embark on chapter three now you have to understand this period of three months is significant and that's why the plastic mentions it according to Jewish law a widow or a divorcee should not get married until three months pass pass since the death of her husband or the divorce that she received the same is true with a convert to converts from another nation to the Jewish people three months are necessary until she marries the reason is a very simple one we want to make sure that if she's pregnant from the previous relationship we will be able to identify that she is pregnant before she gets married and that way we will understand oh who the father of the child is and therefore it's very significant that Naomi made sure Reus waited three months there was a three month waiting period after she arrived in Judea and she joined the Jewish people we now reach chapter 3 of Earth's vital Melana Mahamaya Naomi her mother-in-law tells her bTW my daughter Halle a Vikash Lajamanu Yasha a table I am searching for a man i aha I am searching for you to receive Minaya to find rest someone who will give you serenity minutiae tranquility and rest somebody who will do good for you I want your life to reach a place of Minaya of tranquility PASOK Bey's Virata and now now highly baez my data no Boas is our relative as we mentioned Boas was Naomi's nephew her husband le melis brothers son in fact Boas was also Naomi's first cousin because Naomi's father and Boaz's father were brothers as was Alamelu a brother so Naomi and Boas are relatives Macklin ruses husband who died in Moe of was a first cousin of Boaz Boaz is our relative Ashley Cisneros a--the you have been spending time with his medians he nee who's IRA s Goyer a nasa area m'lila he is going to winnow his granary of barley tonight he's going to engage in that labor called Zyra what is Zoya Zoya is winnowing which is separating the shaft from the grain by means of a current of ear winnowing or zerator which actually happens to be one of the 39 labors forbidden on Shabbos there's an agricultural method developed by the ancients for separating grain from chef after the stage of threshing the grain where we separate the seeds from the husks and the straw the next step is winnowing the shaft removal process how do we do it in its simplest form winnowing they'll have involves the throwing of the mixture into the ear the wind blows away the lighter chef and the heavier grain falls back down for recovery tonight Naomi says boas is going to go out to winnow his barley and this is an important statement because as a result of this she goes to Posse gimel she says what I want you to do is wear a hat bathe visage anoint yourself the Sam seamless Iook Alya put on your clothes on yourself get dressed we are at the garden and go down to the granary go down to the threshing floor altivo delish at Colossae little village - do not make yourself known to any man to anybody including boas till he finishes eating and drinking the malbim explains that what Naomi is telling her is Boaz's are relative you have been spending time with his maids he's winnowing his barley tonight so the malbim says that winnowing happened where there is more wind as to be a current of air so can separate a shaft from the grain that's not in the actual place where all the barley and wheat is stored but in the open field outside of it you're going to come there they're going to see you in the field nobody is going to suspect anything because they know you you have been spending time with his mates you have been spending time with his employees people will assume that the harvest is over you're not there anymore you came to see your old friends which you haven't seen since the harvest is over now is already the time of winnowing it's already after the harvest and you're coming here and it makes sense no one will know what you're here for until Bo Hwa's finishes eating and drinking now the fact that he's winnowing tonight is a very significant detail we'll soon see how the winnowing process is so essential to the story so you'll bathe you'll put on your clothes you'll anoint yourself you're going to go down to the granary nobody will know you're there nobody will know you there now that's important look at puss a gimel again when he she says but you're a tiger and you go down to the granary means there is the field the Malcolm says there is the field where the winnowing is happening that's an open field then there is the ger in the granary where all the grain actually stored you're going to go down there and no one shall see you people should think you went home you went back to your mother and though you're not here anymore passing Dowland Niomi continues her careful instructions to her daughter la vie Heba Shaka boy when he lies down he finishes eating he finishes drinking he's going to lie down the adata samake Masha you

rest then go down into the granary here it says she first went down into the granary and then she did everything her mother-in-law told her to do pass of off and the meddler explains that she actually changed the order she didn't get rest before she did an unknown to herself her bathe before she did it after she got dressed afterwards not to arouse any gazes from anybody outside so she went into the grain she did every to the granary she did everything her mother-in-law told her passing Zion vehicle boyars boss 8vy aged and he drank so this is after the winnowing process he sat down for a

not be silent Kim Kela a diversion until he finishes the entire undertaking today and this concludes the third chapter of the Book of Ruth and now we need to explain let's try to understand the story at least some of the story part of the story we know the plot Naomi wants Roose to marry Boas clear she keeps on referring to Boas MoDOT I know he is our relative Roose identifies Boas kegel utter you are my Redeemer what does it mean you are my Redeemer Boas again responds and says there was somebody else was closer to redeem you but if he will not do it then I will do it what is this goal or we are referring to I'm going to quote for you a ram ban there are Barnaby no Moshe Ben Ackman naman or ease who was the great Spanish sage kota fire leader scholar physician philosopher debater polemicist who lives in Spain in the 13th century Rhodes writes a commentary on Hamas and in Paris Valley a ship in the story of you who then Tamar which is very important here there Ambon says something and you have it in your curriculum and you could look at it and you also have it as source number one this is source number one calf morale hawk at minam the early stages of Israel me die tomorrow nanak bahasa knowing this great idea in yin high e boom the concept of yi boom Leverett marriages he Neagle the fun and be strong lasso some ice has ever called oceanic allah they instituted among the jewish people to do this act among all who inherit property Vacarro is a gula and they called it redemption vis l inion boas and this is the meaning behind the story of bias and this Rambam we have to explain everybody knows there's a law in tyre and partial ski states a Deuteronomy known as ye boom Leverett marriages what is this law that if a man is married to a woman and he dies childless there is a mitzvah for her to marry a brother of his if he has a living brother at the time there was a mitzvah for her to marry his brother and then hopefully they will have a child and this child will be the perpetuation and living legacy of the first husband who has died in fact this child will inherit the property their state of the first husband because it will go over to the wife and the new husband and the new child his name his legacy his life will be perpetuated through this child who is born he will inherit his estate it will be called as a legacy of the original child according to Kabbalah the soul of the child is a reincarnation of the first man who died so this is a perpetuation of his life when he dies without a child what if he doesn't want to marry his sister-in-law the brother doesn't want to marry his sister or she doesn't want to marry him there's a process known as ELISA ELISA is an intricate process but very briefly in front of the court she the widow removes the shoe off her husband's brother she moves the shoe off the authority she spits to our words she says and basically he's known as base Colusa now the man whose shoe was removed this is called Carlie and once that happens she is free to marry whoever she wants he is free to marry and go off and he mean he can do whatever he wants this was called ELISA I should say that in Ashkenazi communities for already 1,500 years approximately ELISA has been performed over --boom although there have been communities and people especially among this far them who have practiced Yi boom in that tragic situation where a young man dies without children she would marry his brother now ye bum according to Torah laws with a brother in law her husband's brother however before the Torah was given there Ambon explains over there it was - any relative of the family not just with her husband's brother could be with her husband's father could be with another relative now here there Ambon says ye boom applies not only to the brother-in-law though that's the Lord applies to any relative any relative of the first husband who died a brother a father an uncle a cousin who are connected to that brother the concept of --boom applies even there even if the law doesn't apply but the custom is was there and therefore the RAM bond says the sages know this Institute of this concept that somebody who would inherit the property of the first husband would also marry the wife of the first husband he wouldn't only inherit the property he wouldn't only redeem the property he would also marry his wife and as a result of that this property and this marriage would be a continuation of the first man and the child would be a continuation of the first husband so somebody who would inherit the person's property and others a relative that person is also entitled to marry the wife if somebody is a relative in the sense that they would redeem the property from a buyer as I spoke before they were also equipped to marry this wife and it was a concept of evil and this is what is happening here Boas is a relative as I said before Boas is le Malik's nephew as we're going to see in chapter 4 now Yomi had fields in the land of Israel but she had to sell them she was very poor she had to sell them of course she had to sell them it has to be redeemed by a relative that's the Mitzvah before the buyer gets it the relative should pay the money who's going to redeem this is it gonna be Boaz Boaz is the right option aleem Ellis is gone aleem Alec's children are gone but there's a nephew so Boas is going to redeem the property we're going to see that in chapter 4 of ruse but here we come to another point and that is he's going to redeem the property and Iommi wants them also to marry the wife of mahon whose property is going to redeem le mela had property le Melek died masculine inherited the property that's his son masculine and Killian they both died now you owe me now has the property she's the mother she's the wife what is she now going to do with it she's going to sell it to Boas but here we have the situation of a form of --boom Boas can buy the property they didn't the property the proper thing to do the RAM bond would say is oh so to marry the wife of the person whose property is getting so he's not just getting this person's property is also marrying his wife and this process knowing as eben Leverett marriages and in that way the one who redeemed the property of the deceased man ohso marries his wife and his legacy lives on through his first wife and the new husband in the new child in their plots and so forth and that's what ruse that's what Naomi wanted ruse to do now the great question why this way if Naomi feels it's a good cheddar do it in the good traditional way send the matchmaker send the shopkin we call it a shout to the matchmaker Ruby anus and I bird says shotgun is an act with all due respect to all the matchmakers shot clean as an acronym Shakir diver cacif Nidal he speaks lies and takes money cuz every matchmaker at some point has to exaggerate Oh II this bucket all this guy's unbelievable she you never met a girl like her you know they tell the story about this mansion maker who set up a girl with a boy and they meet in a house and after a few hours the matchmaker comes to see how it goes so the girl comes over to him and starts whispering to him and says you know I can't believe how you lied you exaggerate you told me he's tall he's short you told me he slim he's fat he told me he's intelligent he's dumb he told me he's handsome he's the opposite she's whispering into the mattress makers here so he tells us that he says you don't have to whisper he's deaf to hear you don't have to lie ruse was a man of tremendous qualities we have seen tremendous dignity deep intelligence perspective conviction loyalty dedication beau as we know was a great man it's a great Shiva Rob a new moisture ounces in his commentary on Ruth a mimosa gives us a whole page of poetry describing the question why would naomi set up the marriage in such a strange bizarre and nick mattock almost immoral way send the message to boas let a matchmaker that it should that arranged it go speak to himself let Rousseau Pro if you believe in direct direct contact let loose approach you approach them you're a relative you're in you could talk that you could send a messenger if you don't feel comfortable why this whole plot the middle of the night when he's winnowing his his grain and you're gonna go there and you're gonna wait till he finishes eating and drinking goes to sleep and then you come and you open this fiie expose his feet and he'll tell you what to do so a lot of risk involved I mean Boas was a man of stature it was a man of high moral ethical sensibility and sensitivity he was according to the bug remember of a bastard Sam the Caliph he was a judge he was a shy fat he's associated with if some one of the last judges of the Jewish people which means he was a judge he was a spiritual leader and a very righteous man according to all accounts he may actually call his people he may he may it may be very humiliating for very denigrating for her it's a very risque thing it may end up in a catastrophe for everybody for boas for ruse and what Naomi wanted to accomplish could have just gone down the drain through this plot the I wish I told you give us a whole page in which he asks this question and beautiful eloquent prose those of you who have vouchers take a look because there's a few paragraphs of tremendous prose of why Naomi would set up her beloved daughter-in-law into this situation when there's so many other ways in which you can discuss the potential for a courtship and a marriage and then there's many details we have to understand one is particularly perturbing lie down near him she says and expose his legs why Viki least Margulis of expose his feet and that's what she does but tagal Margulis off to the point that Boas quakes via her are these trembling his grasp me at who are you he's terrified in middle of the night he didn't expect us and ruse very subtly says who am i ah I'm ruse so nice here Usama sound I'm ruse your your mate spread your your cloak on me you're the Redeemer she's she's cool she's collected her thoughts are collected she's thought out she's digging the fight she responds to the question she's not terrified she doesn't tremble she knows exactly what she's doing what is the meaning of all of this there's another another detail that has to be addressed this chapter in the Tanakh is unique in the time after something called Cree and Civ Cree is sometimes a word is written one way and it's pronounced a different way usually there's a difference of a letter Cree is the way we pronounce the word Civ is the way the word is written we have it often in the Tanakh a word is written one way in the Torah and the book of Tanakh but when we pronounce it curry we pronounce it differently this chapter is unique that in almost every verse or many of the verses there is a Korean X if so many alterations and words in this universe in this chapter is unique and most of them follow a unique pattern and I'm going to show you a few of them because they lead us to teach what is going on here what is the depth of the narrative here an example parsec hey looking bus okay but time irregularity Murray a liason ruse said whatever you tell me I will do in deceive the word a lie is missing it just says whatever you say I will do in decree it says whatever you say to me I will do what's the significance of that why is that word missing pasta gimel Iommi tells us we are rather hot go here and go down into the granary go down to the granary and wait there nobody shall know indexof it says we are added T hog or even I will go down into the granary now yo me says I will go down really Roose is going down that's why we pronounce it via lab not through your rabbit T but it says I will go down into the Geiger the metros discussing the matter Schreiber says what Naomi said is my source will follow you my merit will follow you but it's significant another one another interesting changes in PASOK Dalit she says via huff Naomi tells Roose find out where he's lying you'll expose his legs and you're gonna lie down near him in the exhibits Fischer half the I will lie down again it's not on me it's not ruse and other differences all in the same pattern that you could see inside the Tanakh why another term that's very interesting another issue is its described when it says that she arrived after baez lie down Roose comes to open his exposes features by plus X I invert our vibe a lot she came by a lot a lot is a very interesting term it means subtly in a refined way ballot what is the meaning what is the significance of that word there's one more detail I want to address and persecuted Boas tells her your kindness now is much greater than your first kindness what did he mean by that this kindness is much greater than your first kindness for this we have to go much deeper into the whole story we have to dissect a story from a deeper point of view from a deeper place and this has analyzed in many of the commentaries of ruse commentators of ruse each one contributes a different angle a different perspective a different aspect and what follows is a combo a compilation of some of the cabmen commentaries with a bit elaboration and some application we have to go back to two other stories in the Tanakh both in Boreas in the book of genesis one impartial vieira one impartial IHF parshas Vieira there is the story that dome is destroyed and who survives light and his two daughters his wife didn't survive she became a piece of salt light and his two daughters and after the destruction lights oldest daughter turns to a younger sister and says there's nobody left as Rashi says they thought the world is destroyed so she said let's get our father drunk una thigh amita's era and we're going to have intimacy with them so that there will be a continuation will will generate a seed from our father and give birth and that's what happens they get their father's toxicated and one IT lives with one daughter and the other night with another daughter each of them gives birth the first sons his name is mo of which actually means may are from the father from her own father and the second one is a moan and a moan and more have become the fathers of two great nations on the east of our chest roll more of an AMA and ruse the mo of a gruesome oviya was from mo of she was a descendant of that family that came from MOA from Lodz relation with his first daughter so it's at night nobody's there they're in a cave they hid from his dome they went into a cave and that's where it happened another story the other stories and partials variations and this is part of the Jewish family you hood the left his brothers after Yosef was sold he marries a woman they have three sons a einen and Shayla a marries a woman named Tamar a dies in the tradition of levirate marriages you hood then marries off his second son - Tamar the Madras rabbit says you hood there was the first one to engage in the Mitzvah of even before the Torah was given you the nudist secretive --boom of levirate marriages and hence he married off his second son Ananta Tamar but her last tragedy strikes and einen dies - and now there's a third son Shayla who's still young you who to tell summer we have to wait till Shayla grows up for you to marry him but really you hood that does not want summer to marry Shayla because he's things she said she killed both of his sons and shall now kill his third song so Tamar is in a predicament she is not free to marry another husband because she's bound up in --boom in the tradition of levirate marriage to her brother-in-law Shayla because both of her first husband's died childless on the other hand she's not being allowed to marry Shayla she doesn't want to pressure for a colita for a complete separation because she hopes to marry Shayla because Tamar in her vision feels and predicts that something great is going to come out of her a relationship with his family so what does Tamar do she engages in an ingenious move as their RAM bond and other commentators explain she cloaks her face and you who de lost his wife and you who this going up to shear his sheep to share they hear the wool on his flock on a sheep and she hears about it and she cloaks her face in fact you who doesn't know who she is and she manages to win ties him and they engage in a relationship and he impregnates her and here we know that before the Torah was given ye boom was not only with the brother-in-law it can also be with a father-in-law with any closest of kin even if not the brother of the deceased could be his father after the Torah was given he the Mitzvah is only with a brother when you can't marry a father-in-law but as the Rambam says you could marry a cousin you can marry an uncle because that's not a forbidden relationship it's not one of the I rise but before the Torah was given you can have even with a father-in-law so now she had relations with you would she became pregnant you hood the hears that her daughter his daughter-in-law is pregnant which means she committed adultery while she was bound up in the --boom to his son Shayla you who dove gives out a verdict that she has to be burnt she's pregnant with twins in her womb why the death penalty the commentators discussed this at length including their own bond and many others but apparently it was considered a form of marriage bound up in --boom and it was a form of adultery that she went with somebody else but on the way to the stake Tamar who took from you who the collateral for compensation for the relationship which collateral he took for me she took from you who the his staff his Ruscio and his cord his girdle she sends these three articles to him and she says least I share a law and I see ara I'm pregnant from the man who owns these three articles via car you who do you who the looks at these three articles by your and he says Sophocles write me many I'm the father of these children there was a relationship with me with her father in law he of course exonerates her she's saved she gives birth to twins parrots and Zahra she now marries you who duh why do I bring up these two stories you got it because rules came from we're from Lloyd's daughter Moya of roast Roose was a Moabite and Boas came from who boas was a great-grandson of parrots the son of yoohoo Dan tomorrow so those two stories in the origin and what happens to our parents happens to us we reenact it in some way will now continue between the granddaughter of light and his daughter and their son mo of and the grandson of you who'd the tamarind parrot a man named Boris hindsight is twenty-twenty we know something else about these families and that is the madness Robison Tehillim pate as matzah CWB shimon carchemish active i found of it my servant hatred matzah said we did I found find them miss dime I found the man's dying why because mushiya king mushiya is a descendant comes from the tribe of you hood mushiya the man who will redeem the world and usher in the era of redemption is a descendant of King Solomon and King David Davi ramela David of course we will know at the end of chapter 4 was a grandchild of Roose David had a father Yishai oh and a father evade who was ruses son rusyn boy as a son so mushiya comes from moon comes from both David and which means he comes from Boas Andrews the seed that light passed on to his son Moe of the seed that Tom you hooda gave Tamar that's the seed that will bring forth ruse that will bring forth boa that will bring forth ivory Easter and of it that will one day bring forth Messiah so there is a lot at stake in this relationship a lot at stake Naomi knows that if she approaches ruse if she approaches boas and says why don't you marry Roose it's very unlikely it's going to happen Roose is a state abayas as a statesman he's a leader he's a judge Roose is much younger than him she's a Moabite woman it's debatable in the Jewish world if a Moabite woman is a lot of convert to Judaism more about that in the next class it's not likely to happen Boas will reject it it's just not the way it's going to happen how does it then happen something drastic must take place in order to create even the proposition that Boas should marry Roose and here is where great people and take risks ordinary people don't take risks they follow the common conventional path and they don't accomplish great things and they don't fall to the abyss great people have a sense and a passion and they know sometimes in life you have to take risks and Naomi took a risk but she knew that for greatness to happen you have to take risks she took a risk and the risk was that the ruse should go in a very unconventional way and ask Boris to marry her and Boas had to see her dedication her conviction her commitment Boas had to be stunned he had to be quake he had to be overwhelmed they had to be grasped in order to be able to get it it would just be conventional opposes it doesn't make sense let's move on the middle of the night nobody is there and Boas was exposed to the majesty to the depth to the dignity to the personality of ruse Andrew stern stem and says I need you to spread your cloak on me can go a lotta you're the Redeemer and Boas gets it when he sees Naomi Andrew says conviction and to what lengths they're ready to go for this relationship Boaz is triggered a deeper part of him comes out and he's in comes with my shawl chicken says it's even deeper than that namely boyars remember reminisces nostalgia and he says this is what happened to Lloyd this is what happened to you who the white drank a middle-of-the-night you hood was going to do one thing he was going to share his flock like I was going to win on my grain and Tamar was the air which allowed boas to compare this to what happened to Lloyd and what happened to Tamar knowing full well that this is the seed of the Davidic dynasty of mushiya in fact the meddra says and you have it in your curriculum on the pasta Gwen Lloyd's daughter says Natalya made toys era we're going to get seed from our Father nakiya movie news era we're gonna get Seva this is Mela HaMashiach is the seed of machine which allows buyers to look at this relationship in the whole new context and that's about a vibe a lot by lot says the Benishek is the word Beloit she came in the same way that they came to light in fact empathic Dollard it says when he sleeps via Dittus how MUC and my share you scuff some you'll know the place where he sleeps could have just said ghost go lie down there him obviously you have to figure out where he is so the banished I says s hamako him I share the last words make up tomorrow s is tough hamako him is mem share his race tough memory system or you're re-enacting what Omer did but the only way ruse can do this is if she's really authentic if it's really in her bones if it's just about a gluttonous narcissistic fulfillment of pleasure this is not the place this is not the person this is not the time these are not the characters involved and that's why you have the Korean deceive indexof Naomi says I'm going I'm going down I'm lying down whatever you say I will do there's no me that can be eagle involved Roose is representing something larger than herself she is committed to a cause transcending her own needs her own cravings her own appetites she is playing here the role of a mother of royalty who is engaging in that historical process of ultimately bringing the seeds of redemption into the world and she exposes his legs why does a woman in levirate marriage throw off a shoe thrown off his shoe why the shoe so the commentators explained according the mom in or something very deep what's a shoe why do we wear shoes when you're walking and sand or on the sidewalk or on the road you don't want your feet to get hurt so you put on a shoe to separate you to protect you the shoe is that case that protects you that shields you it gives you access to harsh environments and strong surfaces you're walking on rocks you're walking under sand you're walking on this side look you don't want to get hurt so you have this shoe to protect you what does the shoe represent and now then represents the concept of when the sole comes into this world as solo so has a shoe and that represents the physical body which encases it which gives it access to the world and which protects it the sole on its own is spiritual it's if the role it's sublime its transcendental the shoe represents the physical aspect of life which gives us access to the physical world in which the soul puts on when it's born now when you marry the brother-in-law marries is the his widowed sister-in-law and he's going to perpetuate the life of his deceased brother so he's giving his brother a shoe he's giving his brother and ability to live on in this world to have contact with the earth which is what a shoe is the sole to have contact with the earth but when you refuse to marry this sister-in-law she takes off the shoe because you're not allowing the brother to continue to live in this world and his soul has to continue to search for a way of leaving its mark in this world and doing its work on the earth because his life was cut short with our children so now and Iommi sends roost to bow as he says open has exposed his leg exposes feet because this is what you're telling him le melech died with children but MacLean and Killian died without children macklin was only met with some masculine is your relative if you're going to marry ruses Widow there's going to be a form of EBU therefore you'll give him a shrew if not you'll be salutes are now it's gonna be a foot without it true the soul won't be able to perpetuate itself and that's what's at stake here you look at your leg without a shoe McCullough needs a shoe in this world he needs to be perpetuated in this world so when Roose now tells this to Boas boa says you're blessed and your latter kindness is greater than your former kindness and what he means by this is on a deeper cabbalistic level your first kindness is what the daughter of Lloyd did with light because as we know the Kabbalah I mentioned last week Reus was a reincarnation of Tamar who was a reincarnation of the daughter of light what you did with the first kindness with your father to perpetuate humanity was kind but this kindness is greater than your first kindness because the first time around light was completely drunk the second time around with you hooda you who didn't know who he was involved with now it's finally in an honest and open way Roose identifies herself as ruse and she says I'm ruse I'm your maid we belong to each other so this kindness is greater than the first kindness but now we have the great question what is the significance indeed of all these relationships producing the seed of redemption of Messiah coming about in such a strange and magmatic and morally questionable ways that we leave for next week see you next Monday [Music] beyond beyond beyond 200 Nina she drew shedule my head foxy yattawan she Russia [Music] zero zero zero whoa whoa Yahoo oh yeah watch me because she knows [Applause] yes really I must mean because because the
