וַתֹּאמֶר לָהּ נָעֳמִי חֲמוֹתָהּ בִּתִּי הֲלֹא אֲבַקֶּשׁ לָךְ מָנוֹחַ אֲשֶׁר יִיטַב לָךְ
Naomi, her [Ruth's] mother-in-law, said to her, “Daughter, I must seek a home for you, where you may be happy.” [JPS translation]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. What is the correlation between having a home and happiness?

2. Why did Naomi feel obligated to find a home for Ruth? Who is responsible for providing housing today?

Time Period: Biblical (early ancestors to 165 BCE)
