Artist’s Statement: The famous story of Ruth inspired me to make a set of drawings. This one shows a worried Ruth, sitting at the feet of her sleeping relative Boaz during the harvest season, hoping he will marry her and will take care of her and her impoverished mother-in-law. Her act is selfless, she does not know she will become the ancestor of Kind David, and ultimately Moshiach.

Biblical stories and the weekly Torah portion are a recurrent theme in my art.
