משנה: הָאִימָּהוֹת שֶׁל בְּצָלִים חַייָבוֹת בְּפֵיאָה. רִבִּי יוֹסֵי פּוֹטֵר. מַלְבְּנוֹת הַבְּצָלִים שֶׁבֵּין הַיֶּרֶק רִבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר פֵּיאָה מִכָּל־אֶחָד וְאֶחָד. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים מֵאֶחָד עַל הַכֹּל. MISHNAH: Mother onions71The Halakhah will try to explain this expression. are subject to peah, Rebbi Yose frees. Rectangles of onions among vegetables, Rebbi Yose says peah from each single one, but the Sages say from one for everything72For this controversy, see Halakhah 2..

רִבִּי יַעֲקֹב בַּר בּוּן בְּשֵׁם רִבִּי חֲנִינָא לֹא אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי אֶלָּא מִשּׁוּם הֶבְקֵר. רִבִּי בּוּן בַּר חִייָא בְּעִי קוֹמֵי רִבִּי מָנָא וְהֶבְקֵר חַייָב בְּפֵיאָה. אָמַר לָהֶן בְּזָכָה בָהֶן אַחַת אַחַת. וְהָתַנִּי אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינָן מִתְקַייְמוֹת לוֹ בִּמְרוּבָּה מִתְקַייְמוֹת בִּמְמוּעָט. הֲוֵי לֵית טַעֲמָא דְּלָא מִשּׁוּם מַכְנִיסוֹ לְקִייוּם. Rebbi Jacob bar Abun73A third generation Amora, student of R. Yose ben R. Ḥanina. in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: Rebbi Yose said only because of ownerless property74Since these “mother onions” are worthless according to both definitions, anybody may pick them up. Abandoned property is not subject to peah since it cannot be called produce of your field.. Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya asked before Rebbi Mana: Is abandoned property obligated for peah? He said to them: When he reacquired them one by one75If the owner reasserted his right to these onions after they sprouted new growth they are not abandoned property.. But did we not state: Even though one with a large harvest will not store the mother-onions, one with only a small harvest will. Hence, the reason76Of the Sages. is only that he collects them for storing77The difference between Rebbi Yose and the Sages is a difference of opinion on matters of agricultural practice rather than on the theory of abandoned property..
