Shabu’ot is not as well known as some of the other appointed festivals, yes its message is one of the most critical times in history for the Chashah people. Shabu’ot is the time we rejoice and celebrate the giving of the Chu’kai... the revelation of Yah’wah’s truth and ethereal presence among his people.
The book of Ruth tells the story of immigrant women struggling to survive in times of economic and political uncertainty. This fascinating book teaches us about deeds of sacrifice through loving-kindness and generosity that are still relevant in the lives of the Chashah today.
We see how the Tegaru are not only facing the ecological disaster of drought, thousands are still displaced from the atrocities of war that decimated the infrastructure in Tigray.
The Book of Ruth mirrors the suffering of many Tegaru Refugees. It begins as famine forces a family to leave one country for another in the search for safety and economic security in order to survive. Ruth and Naomi are left alone in a new land, without resources to survive. It is only through Yah’wah’s protection and generosity that they are abused and exploited.
Many of the most vulnerable people are immigrants like Naomi and Ruth, and as we celebrate the giving of the Chu’kai this year, remembering Yah’wah’s justice for his people. We at Chashah Monastery Parliament remember the lives of Tegaru Refugees who are also seeking refuge in Yah’wah.
Chashah Monastery is a religious organization assisting in restoring communal balance and tribal sustainability in North America. Chashah Monastery is dedicated to building a psychological safe space for Tegaru in the diaspora via the Chashah community to overcome trauma through spiritual regeneration.
