Famine in the land. Greed and jealousy. Desperation and desertion. Brother against brother. One leader leaves to save his family. The other stays to save his people.
Tragedy strikes the once-prosperous family that has abandoned its people. Two widows in rags, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, return home to build a new life. They find faith, love, hope, and salvation in the restored fields of Bethlehem.
The production of “RUTH and NAOMI In the Fields of Bethlehem” is dramatic, touching, funny and majestic. Its conclusion of a destitute outsider finding her proper place among her adopted people is an inspirational tale that brings pride to all who hear it.
The beloved story from Megillat Ruth, brought to life. Originally produced in 2006, returning with a new production, new cast, new staging, new dances, same uplifting message!
