Ruth A Woman Of True Never Ending Competent Loyalty In The Book Of Judith

A woman of true never-ending competent loyalty through honor and selfless devotion

The Book of Ruth

When girls of the Jewish Faith turn 12 years of age they are able to undertake in their own Bat mitzvah in which they are then recognised as an adult, more formally a daughter of the commandment. Commencing in this ceremony girls, now classed as women become morally and ethically responsible for their decisions and actions. During this momentous occurrence in a girl’s life she reads a passage from the Tanak that is of significance to her containing an influential women to her within Jewish history. This occasion incorporates the mitzvah leading the ceremony with selected prayers. She will give a small speech founded on the current
She takes part in this as it demonstrates that she has maturity to undertake the new multiple privileges and responsibilities in which are needed of her. An exemplarity woman who dedicated her life to putting her step-mother before her in order to fulfil her happiness is Ruth. Thus Ruth through her never-ending competent loyalty, honour and her selfless devotion in a journey of rejections has become an exemplary role model for the young women of today.
The story of Ruth elucidates the selfless devotion and a never-ending competent persistence of a woman who was seen as poor and a foreigner in her journey of rejections. In the narrative form in which the book of Ruth is written it commences with a family leaving their home to live in Moab where a loss is suffered and Ruth appears. Ruth’s selfless devotion is early optically discerned within the story where Ruth declares “Your people will be my people and your God my God” (Ruth 1:16) and she returns with Naomi. When they get back to Naomi’s home; Ruth is seen as an outsider and goes to work in the field of Boaz her great uncle where she demonstrate her loyalty to Naomi
Through Ruths behaviour young women should strive to be faithful providers for the poor and helpless (Goodman, 2006). Her actions in the story create examples and lead young ladies down selfless path where fulfilment is achieved through doing right. As Ruth leaves her home, family and friends and moves to another land and is despised as a foreigner for a time period (Strauss, 2004). This demonstrates the attribute to be willing, to go and honour what is right even though there may be hardship in the way. The story shows the love and loyalty Ruth has for Naomi who rendering a diverse feminist critique fits the mould of the stereotypical patriarchal dominated woman (Efthimiadis H n.d), takes care of her every day without repentance and her efforts are noted by Boaz. This representation interpreted by feminists is of a young lady who illustrates that there is no need for someone to be recognised only for their physical beauty but for their beautiful attitudes and qualities they display (Strauss, R. 2004). “Why have I found favour in your sight that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?” (Ruth 2:10) is said to Boaz. Demonstrating her genuine humility and constant attitude to be generous she becomes appealing to Boaz and so though this depiction young girls can learn from this to be humble
