הכל מיטמאין. ואפילו קטן. דמהו דתימא איש צרוע כתיב (ויקרא י״ג:ב׳), קמ״ל אדם כי יהיה בעור בשרו כתיב [שם]:
הכל כשרים לראות את הנגעים. ואע״פ שאינו בקי בהן ובשמותיהן, אם חכם עמו, רואה. אבל בינו לבין עצמו אם אינו בקי בהן ובשמותיהן אינו רואה את הנגעים:
שהטומאה והטהרה ביד כהן. חכם ישראל רואה את הנגעים ואומר לכהן, אע״פ שהוא שוטה, אמור טמא, אמור טהור:
בין באיש אחד בין בשני אנשים. שנולדו שני נגעים באיש אחד או בשני אנשים, אין הכהן רואה אותן בבת אחת, שאין הכהן יכול לראות יפה שני נגעים כאחד:
ומסגירו. אי בר הסגר הוא, כגון ע״י ארבעה מראות:
ומחליטו. אם ראוי להחליט, כגון ע״י שער לבן או מחיה:
ופוטרו. אם הוא למטה מארבעה מראות:
וחוזר לשני. מאחר שנולד השני קודם שהסגיר את הראשון או שהחליטו:
אין מסגירים את המוסגר. וכן נמי אין מחליטין את המוסגר. דאם הסגירו בנגע אחד ואח״כ נולד לו נגע אחר שראוי להסגירו או להחליטו, אין נזקק לו. וכי מתסי מן הראשון אין על הנגע השני לא תורת מוסגר ולא תורת מוחלט, עד שיזקק לו:
אבל בתחלה בסוף שבוע מסגיר ומסגיר. אם בתחלת השבוע נולד השני קודם שהסגיר את הראשון, מסגיר על הראשון ומסגיר על השני. וכן בסוף שבוע ראשון אם עמד הראשון בעיניו, מסגירו וחוזר ומסגיר על השני:
מחליט ומחליט. מחליט על הראשון וחוזר ומחליט על השני:
מסגיר ופוטר. מסגיר על הראשון ופוטר על השני:
מחליט ופוטר. מחליט על הראשון ופוטר על השני. וה״ה איפכא, מסגיר ומחליט, או מחליט ומסגיר, פוטר ומסגיר, פוטר ומחליט:

Bartenura
נותנין לו שבעת ימי המשתה – as it is written (Leviticus 13:14): “But as soon as ]un-discolored flesh] appears in it”/"וביום הראות בו [בשר חי]" since the All-Merciful (i.e., God) writes "ובהראות"/”as it appears”, what is "וביום"/as soon as? To inform you that there is a day that you examine and there is a day that you don’t examine.
נותנין לו שבעת ימי המשתה. דכתיב וביום הראות בו, מכדי לכתוב רחמנא ובהראות, מאי וביום, לומר לך יש יום שאתה רואה ויש יום שאי אתה רואה:
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.

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.
הכל מיטמאין (all are made unclean) – and even a minor. For you might have thought that (Leviticus 13:44): “The man is leprous.”/"איש-צרוע", it comes to teach us that, as it is written (Leviticus 13:2): “[When a person has] on the skin of his body.”
הכל כשרים לראות את הנגעים – and even though he is not an expert in them and in their names/designations, if a Sage is with him, he may examine, but on his own if he is not an expert in them and in their names/designations, he doesn’t examine the plagues.
שהטומאה והטהרה ביד כהן – an Israelite Sage examines the plagues and says to the Kohen, even though he is an imbecile/שוטה, “Say, ‘unclean/impure’” [or] “Say, “pure/clean’”.
בין איש אחד בין בשני אנשים – that there appeared two plagues on one person or on two people, a Kohen does not examine [both of] them at the same time, for the Kohen is not able to see well two plagues as [he sees] one.
ומסגירו – if he is locking up (i.e., isolating) a [presumed] leper for trial, such as through the four appearances of plagues (see Tractate Negaim, Chapter 1, Mishnah 1).
ומחליטו – if he is worthy for being declared a [certified] leper, such as through white hair or a half-healed (having only a thin covering).
ופוטרו – if he is below from four appearances [of plagues].
וחוזר לשני – after the second person [had plagues] that appeared prior to his isolating/shutting in the first or declaring him to be a certified leper.
אין מסגירים את המוסגר – and similarly, we also do not declare someone to be a certified leper who is in isolation/shut up. For if they isolated him with one plague and afterwards another plaque appeared to him after it was fit to isolate him or declare him to be a certified leper, he does not engage with him. For if he is isolated/shut up from the first [plague], there is nothing regarding the second plague, neither the designation of being locked up [pending the priest’s observation – see Leviticus 13:4] or from the designation of being declared a confirmed leper, until he will need him (i.e., the Kohen).
אבל בתחלה בסוף שבוע מסגיר ומסגיר – if at the beginning of the week, a second [plague] appeared prior to his being isolated/shut up for the first [plague], he shuts him up/isolates him over the first [plague] and shuts him up/isolates him over the second [plague]. And similarly, at the end of the first week, if the first [plague] remained unchanged, he shuts him up/isolates him and goes back and shuts him up/isolates him on the second plague.
מחליט ומחליט – he declares him a certified leper on the first [plague] and goes back and declares him a certified leper on the second [plague].
מסגיר ופוטר – he (i.e., the Kohen) isolates him/shuts him up on the first [plague] but releases him on the second [plague].
מחליט ופוטר – he declares him a certified leper on the first [plague] and releases him on the second [plague]. And the same law applies in the opposite direction, he (i.e., the Kohen) shuts him up/isolates him [for the first plague] and declares him to be a certified leper [for the second plague] or declares him to be a certified leper [for the first plague] and shuts him up/puts him in isolation for the second plague or releases him [for the first plague] and isolates him/shuts him up [for the second plague] or shuts him up/isolates him for the first plague and declares him to be a certified leper [for the second plague].
