Ruth offers a counter-narrative to the top-down model of divine revelation

Rooting ourselves in sacred story, time, nature and harmony.

We don't need to love our enemies, but we might want to value them.

The force of life is stronger than death.

If sweeping away all leaven symbolizes freedom, then maybe the Omer is a time to fill ourselves with that which truly leavens.

Finding divine companionship on an uncertain journey.

Why should the Omer, a period of harvesting a staple crop, have become a time of mourning?

Each act of creativity is a direct challenge to the forces of death and despair.

Brooding over a psalmist's question in the face of death.

On restoring the prestige of physical work.
