הנושא את האשה ופסקה עמו. בשטר וקנין, או שאמר לעדים אתם עדי שאני מחייב עצמי לזון את בתה שיש לה מאיש אחר:
לכשתבוא אצלי. כלומר אם הייתי מקיים את אמה הייתי זנה:
מוליך לה מזונותיה למקום שאמה שם. דקיי״ל בת אצל אמה בין גדולה בין קטנה כל זמן שהאם רוצה, והבן עד שש שנים אצל אמו וחייב האב לפרנסו והוא אצל אמו אם האם רוצה:

Bartenura
בנותיהן ניזונות מנכסים בני חורין – but not mortgaged [properties] for we do not release for the support of the wife and the daughters from mortgaged properties because of the welfare of the world, for those who bought the property do not know how much food provisions will cost so that they would beware to leave them a place from which to collect.
והיא ניזונת – that same daughter.
שהיא כבעלת חוב – for she has upon them a document of support (i.e., food).
כל זמן שאת עמי – and not if I die or if you die or I will divorce you.
בנותיהן ניזונות מנכסים בני חורין. ולא ממשועבדים, שאין מוציאים למזון האשה והבנות מנכסים משועבדים, מפני תיקון העולם, שאין הלקוחות יודעים כמה יעלו המזונות כי היכי דליזהרו להניח להם מקום לגבות:
והיא ניזונת. אותה הבת:
שהיא כבעלת חוב. שיש לה עליהן שטר מזונות:
כל זמן שאת עמי. ולא אם אמות או תמותי או אגרשך:

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.
