Chag Hakatzir, the Festival of the Harvest (which is another name for Shavuos) begins the season of gathering in the new crops. Farmers have the opportunity to do mitzvos like Leket, leaving dropped grain for the poor people to collect. With this one-point perspective drawing, Students will visualize this unique mitzvah of Leket that the farmers were able to fulfill. Learning the mitzvah of Leket will help put us in the right perspective to notice different opportunities Hashem gives us to help another in need.
The student will create a hands-on art project to depict the mitzvah of Leket. While working on this project, have your students discuss ways the Torah teaches us to emulate Hashem and the opportunities they have to help each other.
