מן הנולדים רבי מאיר מתיר אף בילודים. בגמרא מפרש דחסורי מחסרא והכי קתני, מן הנולדים אסור בילודים, ר״מ אומר אף הנודר מן הנולדים מותר בילודים, כי היכי דהנודר מן הילודים מותר בנולדים:
אלא ממי שדרכו להוליד. כגון אדם ובהמה, לאפוקי עופות ודגים שאין מולידים אלא מטילים ביצים:

Bartenura
מאוכלי שום – one of ten enactments made by Ezra [the Scribe] that they would eat garlic on Friday evenings, because it increases seed (i.e., semen) and Friday evening is the time for fulfillment of marital duties of Sages (see also Tractate Ketubot, Chapter 5, Mishnah 6).
ומותר בכותים – they do not make pilgrimage [to Jerusalem]. But even though that this is according to the Torah, because they hare Jerusalem and chose for themselves Mount Gerizim.
מאוכלי שום. אחד מעשר תקנות שתיקן עזרא שיהיו אוכלים שום לילי שבת, מפני שמרבים הזרע וליל שבת הוא זמן עונה של תלמידי חכמים:
ומותר בכותים. שאינן עולים לרגל. ואע״ג דמדאורייתא הוא, מפני שהם שונאים ירושלים ובחרו להם הר גריזים:

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.
