so that there shouldn’t be anyone who has abundance over others?

to deter hoarding?

discourages hording from the beginning

can someone make a line of jewish-farmer-grown hot sauces called triple pickle

YES

is it then called double pickle?

its triple pickle once removed

lol

ha

but wont they run out of food? if they're in middle of eating it, it's probabl not excess

it feels quite stressful

and what of the health of the produce in the field?

I'd listen to that folk punk band: "triple pickle catastrophe"

omg

Is there not a problem of throwing something out halfway if you have already thanked hashem before eating and recited a bracha? Would that negate the blessing?

No, you don't have to finish the food on your plate for the blessing to count as long as you started eating

question about 'distributed' if humans cant eat it anyway?

is it for one final hurrah type party?

Eating pickles from previous years during the 7th is okay?

wow!!

sounds like what josef had everyone do! in mitzraim

what do we know about city storehouses?

Did this only happen during a shmitah year

is this an original jewish idea or do other cultures do it?

Collective storehouses for certain crops was a very wide practice until recently

All of these food items being stored collectively are from perennial systems? Or voluntary re-seeded grains?

Maybe storehouses had grain stored from previous years

and had nooo room for volunteer grain

appreciating your eloquent use of emojis, Sarah ~

^^

the shames pickle

haha great song name for the Triple Pickle Catastrophe punk band ^

Prob should not have huge amount of pickles for this to be practical

Is Biur determined by what’s in “my" field or what’s in the whole regions fields?

Be sure to make your shmita pickles in big chunks so they're easy to fish out of barrels

layered pickle jar according to the time in the field

Yess

yessssssss

farmer tested, mishnah approved

Triple Pickle Catastrophy - great band name

Collective harvests and redistribution based on need

Knowing your community, and who is growing what, and who to ask for their excess

Always attempt distribution before destruction

did they have season extending techniques like greenhouses, would that impact these laws?

Cooperatives for collective processing

+1 Jacob!

I love buy nothing groups!

how about dehydration?

wines

If your foodstuffs are processed into a baked good (flour?), does that apply to the biur situation? Does the food still have to be identifiable as the plant in the field?

Processing food with your friends/neighbors to make the work load lighter and so that everyone has access to excess produce

Caleb: Is Biur determined by what’s in “my" field or what’s in the whole regions fields?

some neighbors

watershed level?

Maybe as far as your animals would graze?

Maybe a days worth of travel

any of our people or friends of our people growing them

This encourages you to grow lots of varieities

a “reasonable distance”

In the case of grapes ripening on the vine differently within the same vineyard, I would say your own field

a very early variety and a very later variety

Maybe among the people who give and receive from the storehouse

No bird netting during shmita then ?!

has to do something with the pickle!

**no PESTICIDES during Shmitta ;)

we love purslane in the desert summers

Purslane for the win!

wild slimy vegetables!!

Gotta get those good fatty acids as long as you can!

nom nom nom :)

Yesss, thank you Sarah! this was so great, and funny xxx

arrived late to this, just want to share that I was accidentally Unmuted in a labor union meeting as I was joining this and all 100 members heard "triple pickle method" - lightened the mood for sure, thank you for sharing this insight :)
