Daily Mishna #77: Peah 4:1
From West Deal Torah Center · 00:05:21
Show by Magen David of West Deal Synagogue
Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time. How peah actually reaches the poor. The basic rule is that it is left attached to the ground for the poor to come and take - the owner may not finish harvesting the field. But there are dangerous exceptions: a grapevine tangled high on a trellis and a date palm must be picked by the owner himself, who then distributes the fruit evenly to the poor waiting below. Not thrown down in a pile for the fastest to grab - once the owner is involved, the shares must be even, so he cannot favor the poor he likes. The same applies to a walnut tree, whose smooth trunk and sparse branches make climbing dangerous. At bottom, though, peah belongs to whoever takes it: first come, first served, with no distribution by the owner at all. So even if ninety-nine poor people beg the owner to gather everything and divide it evenly and one insists on the grab rule, the law follows the one - but if every one of them agrees, the owner may distribute after all. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (0:00) How peah is collected(0:30) The dangerous exceptions(1:50) Even shares, not a pile(3:05) The walnut tree(3:45) First come, first served(4:15) Ninety-nine against one - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Visit: westdealshul.orgSponsorships: [email protected]
