Is this Naomi?!

Is this Naomi?!

In the question: Is this the same one we knew?! The expression of surprise is different from everything that happens to a person, for better or for worse.

("And it came to pass, when she came to Beth-lehem, that all the city was astonished at her, and said, Is this Naomi?" - Ruth 1:19 (When the women of Beth-lehem saw Naomi returning to the city after she had come from the land to the fields of Moab, and calamities befell her), and so: "We have heard that there is no one who goes out of the land to go abroad... What is "Is this Naomi"? Said R. Yitzhak: They said: You saw Naomi, who went out of the country to go abroad - what did she bring her up to?" - at the beginning of Rabbah (Koh).

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: הַאִם זֹאת אוֹתָהּ אַחַת שֶׁהִכַּרְנוּ?! הַבָּעַת תַּדְהֵמָה מִשִּׁנּוּי כָּלְשֶׁהוּ שֶׁחָל בָּאָדָם לְטוֹב אוֹ לְרַע.
