[Avodah] Chesed and Megillat Ruth

[Shoshana L. Boublil]

While preparing for a Shiur, I found this very interesting article, written in Hebrew by a student at the Ashkelon college (BIU):

http://www.ash-college.ac.il/lib/parasha/shavuot5.doc

It begins with a quote from Ruth Rabba:

Said R' Ze'ira:  This Megilla, has neither Tum'a nor Tohora, neither Issur nor Heitar, so why was it written?
To teach you the reward given to Gomlei Chasadim (Ruth Rabba B;15)

It is an interesting collection of sources and a resource for Shavu'ot.
