🆕 בִּתִּי עַרְבוֹת – פיוט לחג השבועות | Biti ‘Arvot (Ruth and Naomi) – a piyyut for Shavuot by the Diwan Ashira Project

Contributed by: Diwan Ashira Project

This piyyut tells the story of Naomi and Ruth through an imagined dialogue. Naomi, aged and alone, is taken aback by Ruth’s unwavering attachment. Ruth explains that it is with Naomi—and her faith—that she finds the truth and authenticity she longs for. It can also be read as an allegorical dialogue between the Torah and the people of Israel, you insist on remaining loyal to her. פתרונו כפול: פשוטו על נעמי ורות ורומז לתורה עם כנסת ישראל. . . .
