Dear George,

The Talmud (if its really important I'll look up the source) says that Ruth was the daughter of Eglon king of Moab. Would you think that David would be descended from just ANY Moabitess? :-)

I was thinking of Ruth 1,15 the WOW of a princess going
away from her family, home and richness to be with Naomi
her God and nation leaving ALL.

Avi Wollman

OK, I'll bite:

Avi, why do you think Ruth is a princess? Did you mean this figuratively, or
actually?
