Homonym: Go'el (Redeemer)
A "Go'el" is a Hebrew term that translates to "redeemer" in English. In Jewish tradition, the Go'el has specific responsibilities, particularly in the context of family and property. This role is often associated with the Torah, where the Go'el is tasked with redeeming a family member who has fallen into poverty or slavery, ensuring their return to freedom and dignity.
The concept of the Go'el also extends to the redemption of land. If a family member sells their land due to financial hardship, the Go'el has the right to buy it back to keep it within the family. This practice highlights the importance of community and familial support in Jewish law.
