Curated Torah sources across every topic, from classical texts to contemporary responsa.
The story of Ruth unfolds during the barley and wheat harvests, the same agricultural season as Shavuot. Ruth's declaration of acceptance—"Your people shall be my people and your God my God"—mirrors the Jewish people's acceptance of Torah on Shavuot, making her conversion the paradigm for all future converts. The sources also connect Ruth to the Davidic dynasty through the Talmudic tradition that David was born and died on Shavuot.
