אין בודקין מן המזבח ולמעלה. התחיל לבדוק באמהות ומצא שאבי אביה שימש על גבי המזבח א״צ לבדוק אחר אם אבי אביה. דכיון דבנה שמש ע״ג דמזבח בידוע שמיוחס היה:
ולא מן הדוכן ולמעלה. אם מצא שהיה משורר על הדוכן:
ולא מן הסנהדרין ולמעלה. ודוקא מן הסנהדרין שבירושלים ואפילו מאותן שדנין דיני ממונות בלבד, שלא היו מעמידין מן הסנהדרין בירושלים אלא כהן ולוי וישראל מיוחס, שנאמר (במדבר י״א:ט״ז) והתיצבו שם עמך, בדומין לך ביחס ובחכמה:
וגבאי צדקה. כיון דמנצו בהדי אינשי, שממשכנין על הצדקה ואפילו בערב שבת, אי הוה בהו מלתא, קלא הוה להו:
בערכי ישנה של צפורי. בסנהדראות של עיר ששמה ישנה, הסמוכה לצפורי:
ערכי. סנדראות שהיו עורכין ומסדרין היחסין:
אסטרטיא של מלך. בחלוקת חודש בחודש לצאת למלחמת בית דוד משפחה פלונית בחודש פלוני. ולא היו יוצאים למלחמה אלא מיוחסין, שתהא זכותן וזכות אבותן מסייעתן:

בת חלל זכר פסולה מן הכהונה לעולם – the daughter of his son or the daughter of his son’s son, until the end of all the generations, but the daughter of his daughter from an Israelite [father] is fit for [marriage into] the priesthood.
בת גר זכר – even from an Israelites woman, is ineligible for [marriage into] the priesthood, just like the daughter of one unfit for the priesthood on account of his father’s illegitimate connection.
בת חלל זכר פסולה מן הכהונה לעולם. בת בנו או בת בן בנו, עד סוף כל הדורות. אבל בת בתו מישראל כשרה לכהונה, דבת חלל עצמה מישראל כשרה לכהונה:
בת גר זכר. אפילו מישראלית, פסולה לכהונה כבת חלל זכר:

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.
