לא תאכל בתרומה. כדתנן בפרק אלמנה לכהן גדול, העובר והיבם והאירוסין פוסלין ולא מאכילין:
לא תאכל במעשר. כולה מתניתין ר״מ היא דאמר מעשר ראשון אסור לזרים, ואינה הלכה:
בת כהן ללוי לא תאכל לא בתרומה ולא במעשר. הכי קאמר, אין חולקין תרומה ולא מעשר בבית הגרנות לא לבת כהן ולא לבת לוי, גזירה משום גרושה בת ישראל שהיא אסורה לאכול במעשר, ואם יחלקו לאשה מעשר בבית הגרנות יבואו לחלוק לבת ישראל אחר שנתגרשה מלוי שאין הכל יודעין שבשביל בעלה היו מחלקין לה, לפיכך גזר ר״מ שלא תחלוק אשה בבית הגרנות אפילו בת כהן ובת לוי. והא דתנן בת לוי המאורסת לכהן וכו׳ לא תאכל לא בתרומה ולא במעשר, הוא הדין אפילו נשואה, ומשום רישא דתני בת ישראל המאורסת לכהן דהתם דוקא מאורסת שאם היתה נשואה תאכל, תנא נמי בסיפא גבי בת לוי מאורסת:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Yevamos Perek 9 Mishnah 5
יבמות פרק ט׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
מת ולה ממנו בן תאכל בתרומה – as it is written (Leviticus 22:11): “and those that are born into his household may eat of his food,” they call him, ‘they shall feed him,” and all the time that her son exists/lives, he provides her with Terumah.
נשאת ללוי – after she gave birth from a Kohen,
אוכלת במעשר – she consumes [First] Tithe and not Terumah, and even though she has a son from a Kohen that was adornment, it would for her a foreigner.
מת ולה ממנו בן אוכלת במעשר – for her son from a Levite, but not Terumah for her son who is from a Kohen, for she has issue from a foreigner (non-Kohen, non-Levite).
מת ולה ממנו בן תאכל בתרומה. דכתיב (ויקרא כ״ב:י״א) ויליד ביתו הם יאכלו בלחמו, קרי ביה יאכילו. וכל זמן שבנה קיים מאכילה בתרומה:
נשאת ללוי. אחר שילדה מכהן:
אוכלת במעשר. ולא בתרומה, ואף על גב דיש לה בן מכהן, דהדרא הויא לה זרה:
מת ולה ממנו בן אוכלת במעשר. בשביל בנה מלוי, אבל לא בתרומה בשביל בנה מכהן, שהרי יש לה זרע מן הזר:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
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.

What if I miss a day?
If you miss a day, you can catch up by studying the missed mishnayot alongside the current day’s study or by dedicating some extra time until you’re back on track.
לא תאכל בתרומה – as it is taught in the Mishnah of the Chapter “A Widow [Married to] a High Priest” [Tractate Yevamot, Chapter 7, Mishnah 4], the fetus, and the levir and betrothal invalidate [a woman from eating heave offering] but do not validate [her to do so].
לא תאכל במעשר – all of this Mishnah is Rabbi Meir who stated that First Tithe is prohibited to foreigners (i.e., non-Levites) but it is not the Halakha.
לא בתרומה ולא במעשר – this is what he said: We don’t distribute Terumah/priest’s due and First Tithe in the granary house neither to the daughter of a Kohen nor to the daughter of a Levite, as a decree because of the case of a divorced woman, the daughter of an Israelite who is prohibited to eat [First] Tithe and if they would distribute [First] Tithe to the wife in the house of the granary, they will come to distribute it to the daughter of an Israelite after she had been divorced from a Levite, for not everyone knows that for her husband, they would distribute it to her. Therefore, Rabbi Meir decreed that you should not distribute in the house of the granary to a woman even if she is the daughter of a Kohen or the daughter of a Levite. But surely, as it is taught in the Mishnah, the daughter of a Levite who is betrothed to a Kohen, etc., they should not consume neither Terumah or [First] Tithe, and the same law applies even if she is married, because the first clause [of the Mishnah] that teaches that the daughter of an Israelite who is betrothed to a Kohen, that there, especially when she is betrothed, for if she was married [to a Kohen], she could consume [Terumah], it is taught also in the concluding clause [of the Mishnah] regarding the daughter of a Levite who is betrothed.
