Berakoth deals with the blessings that are recited before and after various activities, such as eating, drinking, and studying Torah. Peah discusses the laws surrounding the corner of a field that must be left unharvested for the poor to collect. Demai deals with the laws regarding produce that may or may not have been tithed properly.Herzog provides a detailed analysis of each section, including the historical context and the various interpretations of the laws. He also includes commentary from other prominent Jewish scholars throughout history.Overall, The Mishnah: Berakoth, Peah, Demai is a comprehensive guide to these specific sections of the Mishnah and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Jewish law and tradition.Variant Readings References And Short Exegetical Notes In Hebrew By Fellows Of Harry Fischel Institute For Research.
