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.

ומאיימין עליהם – we inform them that those who hire false witnesses despise them themselves and we call them “wicked,” as it is written concerning Naboth [and his vineyard] (I Kings 21:10): “And seat two scoundrels opposite him and let them testify against him: [You have reviled God and king!]...,” for the advisers of the king who were advisers who had been hired, we call them, “scoundrels.”
הוא אמר לי – the borrower said to me
לא אמר כלום – that a person does when he says “so-and-so loaned me” in order that people should not consider him rich.
הודה לו – for both of them were in our presence and to admit to him tha thtey they had the intention, to be for him witnesses in this matter.
