שופר שנסדק ודבקו. בדבק:
פסול. דהוה ליה כשני שופרות. והני מילי נסדק לארכו. אבל נסדק לרחבו, אם נשתייר ממקום הנחת פה עד מקום הסדק כדי שיעור תקיעה כשר, ואם לאו פסול. וכמה שיעור תקיעה, כדי שיאחזנו בידו ויראה לכאן ולכאן:
ניקב וסתמו. דוקא שסתמו במינו ונשתייר רובו שלם ולא עכבו הנקבים שנסתמו את התקיעה, כשר. ואם חסר אחד מן התנאים הללו, פסול:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Rosh Hashanah Perek 3 Mishnah 7
ראש השנה פרק ג׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
בור – pit in the ground
דות – a place surrounded by barriers on the ground.
פיטם – a large earthenware utensil
אם קול שופר שמע – he who stands outside the pit, and heard the sound of the Tekiah of the person sounding the Shofar in the put, for those who were in the pit, always fulfill their religious obligation, for they always hear the sound of the Shofar.
אם כיון לבו – to fulfill [their religious obligation]
יצא – and even though they the person sounding the Shofar did not intend to fulfill [his religious obligation], here we are speaking of the Cantor of the synagogue who sounds the Shofar that he intends to fulfill [the religious obligation] of all those who hear the sound of his Tekiah. Therefore, even though that he did not intend to fulfill [the religious obligation] of this [person] who passes the back of the synagogue and did not know of him, he has fulfilled [his religious obligation]. But the person who sounds the Shofar to fulfill an individual’s religious obligation, we require that the listener and the person who causes to hear (that blows) have the intention [to perform a religious act] (see Talmud Rosh Hashanah 28b).
בור. חפירה בקרקע:
דות. מקום מוקף מחיצות על הארץ:
פיטם. כלי גדול של חרס:
אם קול שופר שמע. העומד חוץ לבור, ושמע קול תקיעת התוקע בבור. דאילו אותן שבבור לעולם יצאו, שהן שומעין קול שופר לעולם:
אם כיון לבו. לצאת:
יצא. ואע״פ שלא נתכוין התוקע להוציאו. הכא מיירי בחזן הכנסת שתוקע שהוא מתכוין להוציא כל השומעים קול תקיעתו, הלכך אע״ג דלא נתכוין להוציא זה העובר אחורי בית הכנסת ולא ידע ליה, יצא. אבל התוקע להוציא יחיד ידי חובתו בעינן שיתכוין שומע ומשמיע:

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.

שופר שנסדק ודבקו – with glue
פסול – for it is like two ram’s horns/Shofarot, and these words [refer to] split length-wise, but if it was split width-wise, if there remains from the place where one places one’s mouth until the place of the split in order that it be like the measure of a Tekiah, it is valid; but if not, it is invalid. And how much is the measurement of a Tekivah? In order that one can hold it in his hand see it from this [side] to the other [side].
ניקב וסתמו – specifically if he closed it up with its own kind, and the rest of it remained whole and holes which were stopped up did not present the Tekiah [from being sounded], it is fit, and if it is missing one of these conditions, it is invalid.
