משנה, פאה א:ב
One is prohibited from designating less than a sixtieth for pe'ah. Even though it says that there is no measure for pe'ah, all is according to the size of the field and the number of poor people and the yield.
[AJWS translation]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. How might we fulfill the laws of pe'ah today?
2. In what ways is this text seeking not only to alleviate hunger, but also to prevent it?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
