My husband is a Good Man....

He works hard, tries hard, prays hard...

His name is Elimelech, it means God is King .

That explains alot about his level of piety, of observance.

I have been with him for most of my life and am not sorry for it. We have two sons, Mahlon and Chilion. They are good boys, or rather I should say men, now. They almost always listen to me, How Many Mothers Can Say That. And now, because of the famine, because things are so hard, we are in Moab for a long time now, for much longer than I ever planned on being. Things aren't so easy here either, but we manage.

It's a living, just barely. Thanks be to HaShem...


Oh, Yes, my name is Naomi, and if you need a place at the table for Erev Shabbat, we would be very pleased to have you as our guest. Elimelech is always happy to have a learned person like yourself around to discuss a little Torah with during the meal. Will you be there?
