ואם התחילו. שגזרו התעניות קודם לכן והתחילו להתענות על הצרה אפילו יום אחד ופגע בהן אחד מאלו הימים אין מפסיקין:
מודה הוא שאין משלימין. להתענות בהן כל היום, אלא אוכל בערב סמוך לשקיעת החמה:
וכן ט׳ באב שחל להיות בערב שבת. כגון בזמן שהיו ב״ד קובעים ע״פ הראייה, אוכל בערב סמוך לשקיעת החמה, מפני כבוד השבת שלא יכנס לשבת כשהוא רעב. ואין הלכה כר׳ מאיר אלא מתענין ומשלימין. וכן ט׳ באב שחל להיות בערב שבת מתענה ומשלים:

Mishnayos Taanis Perek 3 Mishnah 1
תענית פרק ג׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
סדר תעניות האלו – that are mentioned in the chapter above, are not observed other than for the rainfall in the autumn. If the three times of the early rainfall passed, which are the third of Marcheshvan, the seventh [of Marcheshvan] and the seventeenth [of Marcheshvan] and rain did not fall, then individuals would fast, and afterwards, the community would [observe] thirteen fasts according to the order that was mentioned.
אבל – if rains fell at their appropriate time and the seeds sprouted and changed, such as in place of wheat came thorns and in place of barley came the early stages of ripening, or another change.
מתריעין עליהם מיד – with the first fast, for all the stringency related to the latter fasts are practiced immediately on the first fast.
בין גשם לגשם—between the rainfall in the autumn and the second period.
מכת בצורת – it is a sign of drought [of rain in season].
סדר תעניות האלו. האמורין בפרקין דלעיל, אינו אלא ברביעה ראשונה, אם עברו שלשה זמנין של רביעה של יורה, שהם ג׳ במרחשון וז׳ וי״ז ולא ירדו גשמים, אז היו מתענין יחידים, ואח״כ מתענין הצבור י״ג תעניות על הסדר שאמר:
אבל. ירדו גשמים בעתן וצמחו הזרעים ונשתנו, כמו תחת חטה יצא חוח תחת שעורה באשה, או שינוי אחר:
מתריעין עליהם מיד. בתעניות ראשונות. שכל חומר האמור בתעניות האחרונות נוהגין מיד בראשונות:
בין גשם לגשם. בין רביעה ראשונה לשניה:
מכת בצורת. סימן בצורת הוא:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?
Mishnah Yomi is a daily study program where participants study two mishnayot (individual teachings from the Mishnah) every day. By following this program, one can complete the entire Mishnah in about six years.
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.
How long does it take to complete the Mishnah with Mishnah Yomi?
Following the Mishnah Yomi program, one can complete the Mishnah in approximately six years.
Can anyone join Mishnah Yomi?

Can I study Mishnah Yomi with a group?
Yes, many communities and synagogues organize group study sessions for Mishnah Yomi. Studying in a group can enhance understanding and foster camaraderie.
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.
ואם התחילו – that they decreed these fasts earlier than this and began to fast on the trouble, even one day, and one of these days came up, we don’t halt [from fasting].
מודה הוא שאין משלימין – to fast on them the entire day, but he eats in the evening close to sunset.
וכן ט' באב שחל להיות בערב שבת – such as at the time when the Jewish court would establish [the months] through visual [sighting of the New Moon]. But he would eat in the evening near sunset because of the honor of the Sabbath, so that he would not enter the Sabbath while he is hungry. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Meir but rather, we complete the fast. Similarly, Tisha B’Av that occurs on a Friday, we complete the fast (Note: Today, this situation would never arise due to the fact that the first day of Passover is always the same day of the week as Passover, and the first day of Passover can never fall on a Friday, since the tine and edicts of Hillel II in the fourth century CE).
