The decision to take on this study of Ruth bat Avraham (daughter of Abraham) came about subsequent to a celebration of the feast of Shavuot several years ago in the home of a member of a Hebrew messianic congregation. In keeping with tradition, the book of Ruth was read with simultaneous discussion on the work and was followed by additional discussion. Listening to the comments from the attendees: their assertions, points and other input, I decided to conduct a deeper study of the work. And, after months of reading/re-reading Ruth, prayer, researching, more prayer and listening, I determined to write this study. It is also written with the hope and intent of causing the reader to ponder or reflect on their relationship and their walk with El Elyon (The Lord Most High) and Yahusha HaMashiach. Concomitantly, it is written to give the reader an opportunity to muse on who those people in this book and in the age and time of Ruth, Naomi, Orpah, Boaz, actually were: ethnically, racially.
