This time we offer you a section of Diane Wolkstein's retelling of the Biblical story of Ruth, recorded (in widescreen!) at the 2006 Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival at Waterloo Village in Stanhope, New Jersey. (Diane was the resident storyteller at that year's event.) Usually told during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, it is at heart the tale of an outsider (a Moabite in this case) who becomes one with the Hebrews and has a greater impact on their lives than others could possibly imagine.
This is a revised version of the video posted last week, to amend the opening titles.
