Bet Lechem in the Book of Ruth. It is constantly mentioned that they left Bet Lechem and returned to Bet Lechem? Boaz too, is described as “coming from Bet Lechem.” Why?
We learn several things from the Book of Ruth: Bet Lechem represents not only a geographical place but also what is good from a moral and religious perspective. Similar to the Levi at the end of the Book of Judges who left the good place – Bet Lechem. We learn that the “Sanhedrin” was in Bet Lechem. And we even learn that you should say “Shalom” and not “Hi!”
