How To Be Remembered

פרשת במדבר / ד’ בסיון תשפ”ב – מ”ח בעומר

In the Book of Ruth we are introduced to a character known as Ploni Almoni, the Hebrew equivalent of John Doe. He is presented as a good man who does not want to marry Ruth. He has solid reasons not to, and he was wrong. Boaz could have used the same excuses but chose not to. That is why we remember Boaz and not Ploni Almoni.
