Daily Mishna #65: Peah 2:5
from West Deal Torah Center Hosted 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. Peah 2:5 weighs what makes a field one field for peah: the species or the harvest. One species harvested in two separate shifts still counts as a single field, and one peah covers it all - a choice to work in shifts does not split the field, and this sits with the earlier rule that peah produce must be gatherable at once, since here the crop does ripen together. Two different species, barley and beans for example, need their own peah each, even when they are cut and processed together in one pile. For the hybrid case, two types of one species such as white and brown wheat, the Mishnah follows how the farmer treats them: harvested together, one peah covers both; harvested separately, he has shown he treats them as two and each gets its own peah. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (0:00) One field or two (0:13) One species, two harvest shifts (1:11) Gathered at once, revisited (1:48) Two species, one harvest (2:43) Hybrid: two types of wheat (3:39) The harvest reveals the species - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Visit: westdealshul.org Sponsorships: [email protected]
