Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?

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.

המזה אזוב טמא – as for example, the hyssop of a garden that was picked/harvested for eating.
אם יש בו כביצה – which is the measure of food, whether to susceptible to receive ritual defilement or whether to defile others.
והזאתו פסולה – as it is written (Numbers 19:19): “The pure person shall sprinkle it,” that the person who will be sprinkling is pure and the hyssop is pure.
אפילו הן מאה – all of them are ritually impure for purification/sin-offering, for we don’t count first-degree and second-degree for purification but rather all of them are first-degree.
