Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Sheviis Perek 8 Mishnah 4
שביעית פרק ח׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
שכרו מותר – for it lacks the sanctify of the Seventh Year, and even though that the Seventh Year takes hold of its monetary value, this is not the money of the Seventh Year.
לקוט לי בו ירק – this is the language of a sale, that implies, gather for me its equivalent in vegetables, but [the word] לקוט /gather-glean is the language of hiring someone, and not the language of a sale.
ככר בפונדיון – not that he said to him, “I will give you a Pundiyon,” only a loaf worth a Pundiyon.
כשאלקט ירקות שדה אביא לך מותר – because this one is giving to the other a free gift, since the vegetables of the field are found/available.
לקח ממנו בסתם – debts for merchandise payable at certain seasons in the manner that they sell in the store.
לא ישלם לו מדמי שביעית – for it is like business [dealings].
שכרו מותר. ואין בו קדושת שביעית. ואע״ג דשביעית תופסת דמיה, האי לאו דמי שביעית הוא:
לקוט לי בו ירק. לשון מכר הוא, דמשמע לקוט לי שוויו ירק, אבל לקוט לי לשון שכירות הוא ולא לשון מכר:
ככר בפונדיון. לא שאמר לו אתן לך פונדיון, רק ככר שוה פונדיון:
כשאלקט ירקות שדה אביא לך מותר. משום דמתנת חנם יהבי זה לזה, לפי שירקות שדה מצויין:
לקח ממנו בסתם. בהקפה כדרך מוכרים בחנות:
לא ישלם לו מדמי שביעית. דהוי כסחורה:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
