Naomi's husband and two sons were all leaders of their generation who were severely punished with untimely deaths after settling "in the fields of Moab." Their punishment was the result of the grave sin of abandoning the Land of Israel during a time of famine. Their actions greatly demoralized the struggling nation of Israel. This first lesson of the Book of Ruth contains a valuable message for us today. We must not turn our backs on the Promised Land, especially in her time of need. For the last decade, Meir Panim (lit. "lighting up faces") has provided food and support for tens of thousands of needy men, women, children and seniors, including many elderly Holocaust survivors, throughout the Land.
