Leaving Gleanings for the Poor

Leviticus 19:9	And when you cut the grain on your land, do not cut the corners of your fields, and do not gather that which falls.	וּבְקֻצְרְכֶם אֶת-קְצִיר אַרְצְכֶם לֹא תְכַלֶּה פְּאַת שָׂדְךָ לִקְצֹר; וְלֶקֶט קְצִירְךָ לֹא תְלַקֵּט.
19:10	And not go back to gather what you missed from your vineyard, nor that which fell.  Leave them for the poor and for the non-citizen.  I am the Lord your G-d.	וְכַרְמְךָ לֹא תְעוֹלֵל וּפֶרֶט כַּרְמְךָ לֹא תְלַקֵּט:  לֶעָנִי וְלַגֵּר תַּעֲזֹב אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.

Ingredients:

• Small pretzel sticks
• 2 raspberries
• 1 mango (can be shared by several children)

Tools: 

• Knife

To Prepare:

1. Cut each half off of mango pit.
2. Peal, cut in quarters or thinner lengthwise.
3. Cut in half to make a triangle that stands up, with one end narrow enough to put a raspberry on it.

To Assemble:

1. Place mini pretzels so that there are bits scattered at the edges, with a small pile in the center of the work surface.
2. Stand one mango section near the pile, top with a raspberry to represent a landowner gathering grain.
3. Stand a second section of mango near one pretzel piece near the edge, top with a raspberry to represent a pauper gathering gleanings.
