בבא קמא פרק ב׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
משיחזור בו שלשה ימים – when he sees bulls and they are not goring, they return to the innocuous state.
שלשה פעמים – and even on one day (i.e., doing damage thrice on one day), but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi [Meir] for they are not forewarned until they testify about it for three days.
ממשמשים בו – they pull at it and play with it and it doesn’t gore. And in this, the Halakha is according [to Rabbi Meir] that a forewarned bull does not return to its innocuous state until small children play with it [and it doesn’t gore].
משיחזור בו שלשה ימים. שרואה שוורים ואינו נוגח, חוזר לתמותו:
שלשה פעמים. ואפילו ביום אחד. ואין הלכה כרבי [מאיר]. דלא הוי מועד עד שיעידו בו שלשה ימים:
ממשמשים בו. מושכים אותו ומשחקים בו ואינו נוגח. ובהא הלכה [כר״מ] שאין שור מועד חוזר לתמותו עד שיהו תינוקות משחקים בו:

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.
