Somehow the coffins were mixed up and the large group of people thinking it was the scholar picked up the coffin of the tax collector and the tax collector’s family picked up the coffin of the scholar and they proceeded to bury the one with great eulogies and a massive show of respect and the other was buried in a very modest and low-key ceremony by the immediate family of the tax collector. Eisikovits eisikovits1@gmail.com 2 The Poor Takes Only What Belongs To Him Already Parshas Emor Rabbi Yissocher Frand In the middle of the detailing the Jewish Holidays of the calendar year, the Torah gives us the commandments of Peah and Leket: “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not remove completely the corners of your field as you reap and you shall not gather the gleanings of your harvest; for the poor and the proselyte shall you leave them; I am Hashem Your G-d.” [Vayikra 23:22]. Rashi quotes the Mishna in Peah regarding the words “For the poor and the strangers you shall leave them over”: “Leave it for them and they will pick it up themselves; you may not assist any of them in their gathering.” If we were to take a poll whether or not it would be preferable for a field owner to help the poor people collect their gifts from his field or make them do it themselves, I am sure that the overwhelming response would have been that the field owner should be a nice guy and lend a sickle or offer a helping hand to 3 the poor who came to his field to receive the “Matnos Aniyim”. Let me help you collect your stuff” or alternatively, when the owner rushes to cut down the stalks for the poor person and hand it to him, the owner is in effect telling the poor person, “Listen here, I am giving you a present.” The Torah is telling us that Leket, Shikcha, Peah are NOT gifts from the landowner. The other was the tax collector in town who was despised by everyone (in an era where the franchise was purchased from the ruler and when tax collectors were known to be unscrupulous and corrupt individuals who squeezed everyone for as much money as they could get out of them).
