Elimelech’s family living in Moab, the conversion of Ruth, and Boaz’s efforts to establish his permission for marrying Ruth despite her Moabite roots, these were all important links in the chain that led to the establishment of the Davidic dynasty.

Join us as we speak with Rabbi Boruch Twersky about his adaptation of the Maharal Tzinz’s commentary on the story of Ruth.

Boston-born Boruch Twersky lives in Beitar, Israel, with his wife and 15 children. He has spent several years pursuing advanced Torah learning in kollel, authored many articles and translated a number of books.
