אהלות פרק ה׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
תנור שהוא עומד בתוך הבית ועינו קמורה. נקב העשוי בתנור שהעשן יוצא ממנו מונח חוץ לבית:
והאהילו עליו נושאי המת. כשהיו נושאים את המת לקברו האהיל המת על העין:
בית שמאי אומרים הכל טמא. קסברי טומאה נכנסת לתנור דרך עינו ויוצאה דרך פיה לבית:
התנור טמא והבית טהור. התנור שהאהיל המת על מקצתו טמא, והבית טהור, שאין הטומאה יוצאה דרך פיה:
ר׳ עקיבא אומר אף התנור טהור. דכיון דלא האהיל על התנור אלא על העין היוצא ממנו, אין התנור טמא. והלכה כבית הלל:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Oholos Perek 5 Mishnah 2
אהלות פרק ה׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
ארובה (the opening/aperture in the roof looking to the ground floor) – like a kind of window that is on the roof of the house which is the bottom of the upper chamber.
בכונס משקה – when they place the vessel on the liquids that enter, the liquids enter into it through that incision.
הכל טמא – if there is defilement in the house, the pot and everything that is on the upper chamber is ritually impure. For the pot does not protect, and the defilement ascends through the aperture which has an opening of a handbreadth.
ובית הלל אומרים הקדירה טמאה – it is a mere stringency that the School of Hillel is strict to invalidate to make the pot impure, for Rabbi Akiba holds that the pot protects over the defilement, as for example that the back of the pot faces downward near the defilement, for an earthenware vessel is not susceptible to receive ritual defilement rom its back. But the Halakha is according to the School of Hillel.
ארובה. כמין חלון שבגג הבית שהוא קרקעית העליה:
בכונס משקה. כשמשימים הכלי על המשקים נכנסים המשקין לתוכו דרך אותו הנקב:
הכל טמא. אם יש טומאה בבית, הקדירה וכל מה שבעליה טמא. שאין הקדרה מצלת, וטומאה עולה דרך ארובה שיש לה פותח טפח:
ובית הלל אומרים הקדירה טמאה. חומרא בעלמא היא שמחמירין בית הלל לטמא את הקדירה, דכר׳ עקיבא סבירא להו שהקדירה מצלת על הטומאה, וכגון שגב הקדירה פונה למטה אצל הטומאה, שאין כלי חרס מקבל טומאה מגבו. והלכה כבית הלל:

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.

תנור שהוא עומד בתוך הבית – the incision that is made in the oven that the smoke leaves from it is placed outside of the house.
והאהילו עליו נושאי המת – when they would carry the corpse to bury it, the corpse overshadowed over the “eye” (i.e., fire-place] [which is outside the house.
בית שמאי אומרים הכל טמא – for they (i.e., the House of Shammai) hold that the defilement enters into the oven through its “eye (i.e., fire place) and departs through its mouth into the house.
התנור טמא והבית טהור – the oven which overshadowed the corpse on part of it is impure, but the house is ritually pure, for the defilement does not go out through its mouth [according to the School of Hillel].
ר' עקיבא אומר אף התנור טהור – for since it (i.e., the corpse) did not overshadow over the oven but only on the “eye” (i.e., fire-place) that comes out from it, the oven is not impure. But the Halakha is according to the School of Hillel.
