בבנין ובנטיעה. ודוקא בנין של שמחה כגון בית חתנות לעשות בו חופתו, ונטיעה של שמחה כגון אילן גדול המיסך על הארץ לטייל המלכים תחתיו. אבל בית לדור בו, ונטיעת אילן לפירותיו מותר:
יצא ניסן הגשמים סימן קללה. כשלא ירדו כלל קודם [שיצא] ניסן. וכל הדינים הללו בארץ ישראל וכיוצא בה, אבל האיים הרחוקים שזמן הגשמים שלהם אינו כזמן הגשמים של ארץ ישראל, כל אחד ואחד שואל הגשמים בזמן שהוא צריך להם, ואם עבר אותו הזמן הידוע להן ולא ירדו גשמים, בית דין של אותו מקום גוזרים תעניות על הצבור אחר שהתענו היחידים כסדר השנוי במתניתין:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Taanis Perek 2 Mishnah 1
תענית פרק ב׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
The order of the fasts, how is it: It is the last seven fasts that we are dealing with.
את התיבה – the ark which the Torah scroll is placed in, that is to say, we had a modest utensil which was despised by our sins And why is it brought to the city street? To say, we cried out in private in the synagogue and we were not answered; we will despise ourselves in public in the city street.
אפר מקלה – ashes from the burning, and because dust is called ashes, the Mishnah teaches, אפר מקלה – ashes from the roast (i.e. vegetable ashes) and because dust is called ashes, for here, it is necessary that they are ashes specifically in order that the Holy One, blessed be He remember the Binding of Israc and be merciful [upon us].
על גבי התיבה – because as it is written (Isaiah 63:9): “In all their troubles He was troubled, [and the angel of His Presence delivered them…].”
ובראש הנשיא וכו' – But they themselves do not take, in order that they be even more embarrassed, since one who is embarrassed on his own is not the same as one who is embarrassed by others.
דברי כבושים – words that conquer the heart of a person to return him to the good.
ובקבלה – the words of the prophets.
סדר תעניות כיצד. בשבע תעניות אחרונות קא מיירי:
את התיבה. הארון שספר תורה מונח בו, כלומר כלי צנוע היה לנו ונתבזה בעוונינו. ולמה לרחובה של עיר, לומר, צעקנו בצנעה בבית הכנסת ולא נענינו, נבזה עצמנו בפרהסיא ברחובה של עיר:
אפר מקלה. אפר שרפה. ומשום דעפר נמי אקרי אפר תנא אפר מקלה, דהכא צריך שיהיה אפר ממש כדי שיזכור הקב״ה עקידתו של יצחק וירחם:
על גבי התיבה. משום דכתיב (ישעיהו ס״ג:ט׳) בכל צרתם לו צר:
ובראש הנשיא וכו׳ והן עצמן אינם נוטלים, כדי שיתביישו יותר, לפי שאינו דומה מתבייש מעצמו למתבייש מאחרים:
דברי כבושים. דברים שכובשין לבו של אדם להחזירו למוטב:
ובקבלה. בדברי הנביאים:

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.

בבנין ובנטיעה – and specifically joyous building, such as a wedding hall to conduct his wedding; or joyous planting, such as a large tree throwing a shadow (forming a tent) over the ground (see Mishnah Ohalot Chapter 8, Mishnah 2) to carry the kings underneath. But a home to live in or the planting of a tree for its fruit is permitted.
יצא ניסן הגשמים סימן קללה – when rain did not fall at all prior to the end of Nisan. And all of these laws [apply] in the Land of Israel and areas similar to it, but the further islands – at the time when tie r rains are not like the time of the rains in the Land of Israel, each person prays for rain at the time that he needs them. And if the known time has passed and rains have not fallen, the Jewish court of that place decrees fasts on the community after individuals have fasted according to the order taught in our Mishnah.
