Processing Shemittah produce
“Do not reap… do not gather” — yet it is for eating
so: harvest it, but not the usual way
To remember it is Shemittah — and His
So it won't mix with ordinary produce

Permissiveone may cut them
Pressed into fig cakes
Muktzeh — the usual drying place
Grapes: not in the winepress — in a kneading-tub
RestrictiveOne may not tread
Permissiveone may tread
Olives: not the beam-press — crush them, then a tiny press
RestrictiveAnd one may not process
Bad — the great beam · kotev — a smaller press
Permissiveone may crush [them]
Rabbi Shimon: start in the press-house
Rabbi ShimonYes — grind there, then finish in the tiny press→ grind there, finish in the tiny press
