| Ruth: A Lesson in Pure Faith When Ruth came to Israel, she was penniless, and had little opportunity for success. She knew that since she was from Mo'av, she could not be accepted for conversion. In addition, she was ineligible to receive gifts from the community. Why would she give up her life as a princess, and put herself into a hopeless situation? She had the clarity to see that HaShem is infinitely precious, holy, and good. Her love of HaShem and her yearning to come close to Him, inspired her to relinquish all material comforts. Lesson: Ruth teaches us the secret to pure trust in HaShem. E ven when the situation appears to be insurmountable, we always rely on HaShem for light, support, mercy, and redemption. Visualization: Envision Ruth walking from Moav to Israel, with the awareness that she had no material future to rely on. Sense her love of HaShem and her noble faith in HaShem. See how her joy increases with each step that brings her closer to Israel. Transfer Ruth's trust and love of HaShem to your heart. Be confident in HaShem's kindness to always help you and experience the joy of being close to HaShem. To receive Salant Emails please send "request" to salantorg@gmail.com
