Part One - Ruth Review

From the opening of Megilat Ruth, can you tell how many years ago the story of Ruth took place?

From the map posted here, can you trace the path of Naomi and Elimelech's family at the start of Megilat Ruth?

Why did Naomi decide to return to Beit Lechem?

What did Naomi ask of her daughters-in-law? What was their response?

What was Naomi's reason for telling them that they should not come back with her?

When Ruth refuses to abandon Naomi, what expressions does she use to show that she is joining Naomi? Be specific...

Compare Naomi's reaction to people's asking "if that was Naomi who had returned" to how she is viewed at the end of Megilat Ruth.

What halacha in the Torah is the basis for Ruth's right/decision to gather grain in Boaz's field? Where would we find that halacha in the Torah? Be specific.
