Our Boys

and Girls

Dear Boys and Girls:
One of the most pleasant
things about Jewish life is that
almost every time we turn
around it's time for another,hol-
iday. Do you know what the
next one is? Of course. Shevuot.
This is a holiday that has
many meanings and many types
of celebration. Let's look at the
various names for the holiday
and you'll see what I mean.
First, Shevuot. This Hebrew
word means "weeks." The festi-
val falls exactly seven weeks
after the second day of Pesach,
and in ancient times, when
there were no calendars as we
know them, the Jews figured the
date of Shevuot by counting the
days, 49 of them, from Passover
to Shevuot. Thus the narhe,
Feast of Weeks.
It is also an agricultural holi-
day, and Hag Habikkurim, Fes-
tival of the First Fruits. These
refer to the seasonal harvests
in Palestine. Today, of course,
our friends in Israel are har-
vesting the same products.
A more recent meaning to the
festival comes with the name
Z'Man Matan Torasenu, the sea-
son of the Giving of Our Law.
On this day we recall the legend
of the giving of the Ten Com-
mandments at Mount Sinai, and
we rejoice that God chose our
people as the people of the
Torah.
* * *
I would like to retell for you
one of the most beautiful stories
of the Bible, the story of Ruth.
It is always read on Shevuot as
a reminder of the days wher
the Jewish people led an agri-
cultural life in Palestine.

for you

MIAMI
BEACH

The story begins in a neigh-
boring country, Moab. We find
a woman of Israel, Naomi, who
had moved to Moab with her
husband and two sons at a time
of famine in their home town
of Bethlehem. In time, the two
sons married Moabite women,
Orphah and Ruth. But sadness
overcame the family, and all
tliree women were . left widows.
At this time, Naomi decided
to return to Bethlehem, but she
told her daughters-in-Iaw to re-
main in their native land. Or-
phah agreed, but Ruth was loyal
to Naomi. She held her close
and said to her these classic
words:
"Entreat me not to leave
thee, or to return from follow-
ing after thee. For wither thou
goest, I will go, where thou
lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people
shall be my people, and thy God,
my God."
Then Ruth and Naomi left for
Bethlehem. They returned to a
prosperous town, but they them-
selves were poor. It was the'cus-
tom, then, that when the fields
of grain Were harvested, a small
portion must be left on the
ground. Then the poor people
of the community were permit-
ted to enter the fields and
"glean," that is, pick up what-
ever sheaves of grain they could.
find.
This was how Ruth set out to
support herself and Naomi. She
chose to glean in the fields of
Boaz, a wealthy man and leader
of the town. He was also, Na-
omi told her, a distant relative
of the family.
Now Boaz, in looking out over
his fields, saw Ruth among the
gleaners. She was still young
and graceful, and Boaz found
her beautiful. He found out who
she was, and became acquainted
with her. Boaz visited Ruth at
the home of Naomi, and before
long he fell in love with her.
So they were married, and
Naomi was happy for Ruth's
good fortune. She was gald, too,
that Ruth had been persistent
and had not permitted Naomi
to persuade her to remain be-
hind in Moab.
Ruth and Boaz had a son.
They named him Obed. He be-
came the father of Jesse, who
was the father of the great King
David.
This story will be read in the
synagogue this week, on She-
vuot, and perhaps you will
'dramatize it in your religious
school classes. It's likely, too,
that you'll recall the agricultural
background of our people by
decorating your home with
greens, by eating dairy dishes
and perhaps by going on an
outing. And you'll find that She-
vuot is a most pleasant holiday
for grown-ups and children
alike.
Your friend, MIRIAM.
