This is in order to emphasize that these mitzvos, too, essentially derive from Sinai and that the ultimate basis for their fulfilment is as expressed in the concluding words of the pasuk: “For I am Hashem, your God.” Peah and Rosh Hashanah The Midrash1 makes a most unusual comment regarding the juxtaposition in our parsha of the mitzvah of Peah and the Festival which follows it – Rosh Hashanah. Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein 2024 / 5784 MESHECH CHOCHMAH Emor The Mitzvah of Peah and the Yamim Tovim ‫ּוְבְ ֻקֻ ְצְ ְרֶכֶם ֶאֶ ת ְקְ ִצִ יר ַאְרְ ְצְ ֶכֶם ֹלא ְתְ ַכַ ֶּלּה ְּפּ ַאת ָׂשׂ ְדָך ְּבֻּקֻ ְצְ ֶרָך ְוְ ֶלֶֶקֶ ט ְקְ ִצִ יְרְ ָך ֹלא ְתְ ַלֵַּקּ ט ֶלֶָעָ ִנִי‬ ‫ְוְ ַלַ ֵּגּר ַּתֲּעֲ ֹזֹב ֹאֹ ָתָ ם ֲאֲ ִנִי ה' ֱאֱ ֹלֵקֵ יֶכֶם‬ When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely remove the corners of your field as you reap and you shall not gather the gleanings of your harvest; for the poor and the convert you shall leave them, I am Hashem, your God.

Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein • Meshech Chochmah Emor - The Mitzvah of Peah and the Yamim Tovim | 2 The Timing of Rosh Hashanah In explaining this comment of Midrash, the Meshech Chochmah prefaces by noting that Rosh Hashanah features at the point in the year which follows the harvest season. By leaving these items in the field, thereby bestowing life to others even if they are not necessarily deserving, then middah keneged middah, the Jewish People are likewise able to receive life in their judgement even if, strictly speaking, they are not deserving. The implications of this idea for Rosh Hashanah are that when our very existence is being judged and we wish to receive life, one of the most propitious ways to bring
