ืืืจืืขื ืืจืืืช ืืืื ืืฆืืจืคืื โ we have the reading [of ืืืจืืขื/from among four] and we donโt have the reading of ืืจืืขื ืืจืืืช/four appearances, for all the four appearances do not combine/join together, that a derivative/subcategory does not join together with its primary category, and two derivatives/subcategories do not combine/join together with each other. But the two primary categories do combine. From what is written (Leviticus 13:2): "ืืืื ืืขืืจ ืืฉืจื"/โand it develops [into a scaly affection] on the skin of his body,โ but it is not written: "ืืืื" /โand they will,โ which implies that one can make ืกืืช/a swelling and ืืืจืช/a discoloration/bright white spot on the skin like one thing, that if there is one-half of a [Cilicean] bean of this one and one-half of a [Cilicean] bean of that one, they combine to becoming a complete bean. But Maimonides wrote, that all four of the appearances (i.e., including the subcategories or derivatives] combine. And the Tosefta [Tractate Negaim, Chapter 1, Halakha 4] supports him.
ืืคืืืจ ืืืืืืื ืืืืกืืืจ (to absolve or to declare a person a leper or to lock up the leper pending the observation of the Kohen) โ all of these things combine. And all of them are being explained.
ืืืกืืืจ ืืขืืื ืืฉืืืข ืจืืฉืื โ as it is written (Leviticus 13:5): โOn the seventh day the priest shall examine him, and if the affection has remained unchanged in color [and the disease has not spread on the skin,] the priest shall isolate the affected person for seven [additional] days.โ
ืืืคืืืจ ืืช ืืขืืื ืืกืืฃ ืฉืืืข ืฉื ื โ that which stands in its measure and did not spread and stood in its appearance, even though it did not go downward from the four appearances, he frees him at he end of the second week. But surely as it is written (Leviticus 13:6): โOn the seventh day the priest shall examine him again: if the affection has faded [and not spread on the skin], the priest shall pronounce him pure,โ that is not to say that he did not pronounce him pure unless [the affection] faded, but rather the Biblical verse teaches us that even if it changed from snow to lime, or from lime to snow, we donโt say that it is another plague and he returns and [the priest] isolates him as at the outset, but rather that he is as it stands, and he purifies him.
ืืืืืื ืืช ืฉื ืืื ืื ืืืื ืืฉืขืจ ืืื ืืชืืื โ that when he is brought to the Kohen at the beginning [of his being diagnosed with an affection] and he has upon him a discoloration like the Cilician bean or quick flesh like a squared lentil within the place of the discoloration, he declares him to be a leper immediately. And similarly, also for [the appearance of] white hair, for if it was black and he didnโt have sufficient time to shut him in until it had turned white, he declares him to be a leper immediately. But the spreading of a leprous spot (see Leviticus 13:7-8): โBut if the rash should spread on the skin after he has presented himself to the priest and been pronounced pure, he shall present himself again to the priest. And if the priest sees that the rash has spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him impure; it is leprosy.โ), even if it gradually spreads until he doesnโt shut him up [in isolation].
ืืกืืฃ ืฉืืืข ืจืืฉืื โ that is to say, to declare him to be a leper like this at the end of the first week, for from the outset he didnโt have these signs [of affliction] and they locked him up/isolated him, but at the end of the first week, he (i.e., the Kohen) found in him a patch of un-discolored flesh [in the swelling] (see Leviticus 13:10) or white hair, and he definitely declares him to be a leper.
ืื ืืกืืฃ ืฉืืืข ืืฉื ื โ as for example, that at the end of the first week, it (i.e., the affection) remained unchanged and he did not have in either white hair or a patch of un-discolored flesh [in the swelling], [and the Kohen shut him in isolation a second time], and at the end of the second week, these signs appear, he (i.e., the Kohen) declares him to be a leper.
ืืืืจ ืืคืืืจ โ meaning to say, that even after the clearance that was at the end of the second week, no signs of defilement appeared in him and they released/cleared him, but after a few days, they appeared, he (i.e., the Kohen) declares him to be a leper.
ืืช ืฉื ืืื ืื ืคืฉืืื ืืกืืฃ ืฉืืืข ืจืืฉืื ืื ืืกืืฃ ืฉืืืข ืฉื ื โ as for example, a discoloration like the size of Cilician bean which does not have in it a patch of un-discolored flesh or white hair and he (i.e., the Kohen) shut him in isolation, if it spread at the end of the first week or it didnโt spread other than at the end of the second week, he (i.e., the Kohen) declares him to be a leper. But if it did not spread neither in the first week or in the second week, and he released/cleared him, but after a couple of days it spread, he (i.e., the Kohen) declares him to be a leper.
ืืืืืื ืืช ืืืืคื ืืืื ืืื ืืชืื ืืคืืืจ โ if after he was released/cleared and the Kohen purified him, the leprosy spread throughout his body, he is impure and irrevocably confirmed as a leper.
ืืคืืืจ ืืช ืืืืคื ืืืื ืืื ืืชืื ืืืื ืื ืืชืื ืืกืืจ โ if after the Kohen declared him impure, or after it was necessary to be shut him in isolation prior to his being made impure, and the leprosy spread throughout his body, he releases him and he is pure, for the white eruption which causes the leper to be declared clean changes someone from pure to impure and from the impure to the pure. And it is called an impure leper under trial [pending the priestโs observation โ see Leviticus 13:4).

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?
Yes, anyone interested in studying the Mishnah can start the Mishnah Yomi cycle. There’s no need for prior knowledge; beginners are welcome.
Do I need to know Hebrew to study Mishnah Yomi?
While the Mishnah is originally in Hebrew, there are numerous translations and commentaries available in various languages, making it accessible to anyone interested in studying.
Is there a specific time of day to study Mishnah Yomi?
There’s no designated time. Participants can choose a time that best fits their schedule.
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.
ืืคืชืื ืฉืืฉืื (the variegation of the snow-white leprosy) โ that is mixed in the white color and red substance that is in the ืืืจืช/discoloration/bright white spot on the skin that it appears as an intensely bright spot sparkling like snow. ืืืื ืืืืื ืืฉืื (like the red wine mixed with the snow โ before the latter is dissolved) โ for its whiteness is greater and its redness is less.
ืืคืชืื ืฉืืกืื ืืืืื โ that which is combined in the plague which is like the lime of the Temple, appears. ืืื ืืืืื ืืืื โ for the redness that is in it is greater. And even though it (i.e., the Mishnah) doesnโt teach ืคืชืื/the variegation other than with the ืืืจืช /discoloration and its derivatives or subcategories, the same law applies for there is also variegation in the ืฉืืช/swelling and its derivatives or subcategories, as it is taught in Torat Kohanim (i.e., the Sifra) (Leviticus 13:10): โa white swelling [on the /skin]/ืฉืืช ืืื ื [which has turned some hair white],โ (see also Leviticus 13:19), it teaches that it defiles part of it. [The phrase] "ืืืจืช ืืื ื ืืืืืืช"/a white discoloration/bright spot on the skin streaked with red (Leviticus 13:19), teaches that it defiles with variegation. From where [do we learn] to give that which is stated of this one and with that one (i.e., wine mixed with in snow and blood mixed in milk โ describing the variegation of the lime in the Temple)? The inference teaches us (Leviticus 13:9): "ื ืืข ืฆืจืขืช"/When a person has a scaly affection.
ืฉืืื ืืฉืืื โ that is in the snow and in the lime [of the Temple].
ืืืื (is fainter) โ it is missing from the whiteness, which is not bright/resplendent in its whiteness like it. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Akiba.
