Every year on Shavuot, we read the Book of Ruth. No, it’s not about a petite but mighty Supreme Court justice. The Biblical Ruth was a Moabite (aka a non-Jewish woman) whose Jewish husband died. Her mother in-law Naomi urged Ruth to return to her home. But Ruth instead pledged her loyalty to Naomi saying, “wherever you go, I will go; your people shall be my people.”
Family isn’t only those we’re related to by birth. Family often includes those we choose to play a significant role in our lives. This summer, celebrate Ruth’s legacy by sending a note of love and thanks to your chosen family.
