When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Matthew 9:36

"In sum-, Shavuot celebrates the Israelites desire and choice to embrace Torah (instructions) ; therefore it is so fitting to read the story of Ruth on that Festival, the odyssey of a Moabite daughter-in-law who, as a Jew-by- choice rather than a Jew-by-birth, merited to become the mother of the Messiah. Ruth's overwhelming desire for and commitment to the faith and land of Naomi makes her one of the great heroines of our history. Only when every Jew-by-birth recaptures the excitement, anticipation and preparation of a Jew-by-choice, will the true Messiah bring redemption to Israel and the world. "
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them. Esther 8:17

Noah was sealed in an Ark, Lot and his wife were told to not look back, and The Israelites were locked in their homes, as the Wrath of God fell upon the first born of the Egyptians.

" These terms point to deeper concepts. A state of disconnection from God is a type of death. A distant road is place where we are far away from who we really are supposed to be. This is something most of us can identify with."
