Paper Summary:
This paper studies the Book of Ruth and the Book of Esther, two of the five megillot -- or scrolls -- from the Hebrew bible. The paper discusses the origin and message of each story. The paper also explains when these stories are read and their significance in the Jewish calendar. The paper then compares and contrasts the roles of these two women in Jewish history and their legacy for the Jewish people.From the Paper:
"The five books have little in common apart from their roles in the liturgy. Although the Song of Solomon and Lamentations are poetic in form and Ruth and Esther are stories of heroines, the contrast in the moods and purposes of both pairs sharply distinguishes the books. Ecclesiastes is a product of the Hebrew wisdom movement and exhibits the most pessimistic tone of any book in the Hebrew Bible."More papers on Ruth and Esther:
