נציגינו יצרו אתך קשר בהקדם האפשרי.
פירוש חדש זה לספר רות מבין שהספר הוא פנטזיה של שלמות — רגע קט של חן וחסד, של פנים מאירות לגר, של מנהיגות נשית, של הלכה גמישה, ושל בני אדם המגשימים את סדר יומו של הקב״ה. הרגע עבר, אבל האופק נשאר.
The Book of Ruth addresses modernity in all its complexity. Benjamin Segal, past president of the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies and author of previous biblical commentaries, unlocks the book’s literary structure and lasting import, while drawing on classical and modern sources. He writes:
“This new commentary understands the Book of Ruth to be a fantasy of perfection: a brief moment of grace, of welcoming strangers, of feminine leadership, of flexible laws and of humans achieving God’s agenda. The moment is gone but that horizon remains.”
“The Book of Ruth is one of the most appealing to modern biblical interpreters, touching as it does on so many subjects of current concern: the emergence of female equality, the significance of legal evolvement, the acceptance of the outsider, to name a few. An inherently fascinating, thoughtful and thought-provoking study, The Book of Ruth: Paradise Gained and Lost is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, synagogue, community, college and university library Judaic Biblical Studies collections.”
