As laid out in the Book of Ruth, Jewish law told farmers to leave the edges of their field unpicked so the poor could get some food. What do Jews call this practice?
Answer Gleaning
Gleaning was a humanitarian way of helping those less fortunate so they could get a bite to eat. It kept the landowners from becoming too greedy and taking all the produce for themselves.
