Reply To: Who wants to be a Tzadaikes like Rus?

ZeesKite – You’re correct. I didn’t mean to imply that she wasn’t a Tznuah. He did notice her because of what you wrote. But this isn’t the reason he wanted to marry her. The posuk says very clearly because of her Chessed. It seems from learning it with some Meforshim, it definitely was a Maaloh that she was such a Tzunah, but the main reason he wanted to marry her was because of her Chessed!

He didn’t call her An Aishes Chayil until after he saw all her Chessed. So whom wants to be An Aishes Chayil like Rus, in our generation?
