Aliya Summary: This Aliya details the right of field workers to eat
from the produce they are harvesting. The Torah then briefly discusses
marriage and the bill of divorce. A divorced couple cannot remarry if
the woman has been remarried to another man (and divorced again or
widowed) in the interim.
From ou.org: We see a
beautiful balance in the area of Torah Law as it relates to boss-worker
relations. On the one hand, the worker is allowed to eat from that which
he picks. On the other hand, he cannot do this while he is actually
working, as this would reduce his efficiency, thereby result in stealing
from his boss. On the other hand, the boss must provide breaks during
the day, when the worker is allowed to eat. On the other hand, the
worker may not take any of the fruits home with him, without permission.
The Mishna further says that a worker should not misuse this
Torah-granted right, lest his boss spread the word that others should
not hire this particular worker. The Mishna also explains that an
employer is required to feed his workers according to prevailing custom
in his locale. Boss may not take advantage of worker, and worker may not
take advantage of their boss.
