אין פחות משנים. משני ימים משנאפו:
נאכל לשלשה. שאפאום בערב שבת. לפי שאין אפייתן דוחה לא שבת ולא יום טוב:
לתשעה. בשבת שניה, שהוא תשיעי לאפייתו:
לעשרה. שנאפו בחמישי בשבת:
שני ימים טובים של ראש השנה. קודם לשבת. נאפה ברביעי ונאכל בשבת שניה, הרי לאחד עשר. ואם תאמר, הרי שנים עשר נינהו, דהא אותה שבת הוי יום הכפורים ואין הלחם נאכל עד למוצאי שבת. הא לא קשיא, דלענין אכילת קדשים הלילה הולך אחר היום שעבר, הלכך מקרי אחד עשר:
ואינו דוחה לא את השבת ולא את יום טוב. לפי שאין אופים ומבשלים ביום טוב אלא מה שאוכל באותו היום בלבד:
רבן שמעון בן גמליאל אומר וכו׳ ואין הלכה כרבן שמעון בן גמליאל:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Menachos Perek 12 Mishnah 1
מנחות פרק י"ב משנה א׳
Bartenura
המנחות והנכסים. עד שלא קדשו בכלי – they are not sanctified as an object which is consecrated as such (i.e., irredeemable), but rather that which is consecrated for its value (i.e., redeemable), that one must redeem them and the monies are holy. And especially, when they were impure, they have redemption, before one has consecrated them in a [consecrated] utensil, but if they were defiled even though they had not been consecrated in a [consecrated] utensil, we don’t redeem them.
העופות והעצים והלבונה וכלי שרת שנטמאו אין להם פדיון – for redemption that is not stated with an object which is consecrated as such (i.e., irredeemable) other than with a animal having a blemish, as it is written (Leviticus 27:11-12): “If [the vow concerns] any impure animal that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD…and the priest shall assess it.” And the Scriptural verse is speaking about animals with blemishes that had been redeemed, for if it was an actual impure animal, when it (i.e., the Biblical verse) states (Leviticus 27:27): “But if it is of impure animals, it may be ransomed as its assessment, [with one-fifth added; if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at its assessment],” behold, it is stated regarding an impure animal, and our Mishnah comes to inform us that even though we find with something holy an object which is consecrated as such (i.e., irredeemable) and a blemish befell it we redeem it, whereas the birds and the wood and the frankincense and the utensils of service that are sanctified as objects consecrated as such (i.e., irredeemable) and are made impure, we don’t redeem them.
המנחות והנסכים. עד שלא קדשו בכלי. אינן קדושים קדושת הגוף, אלא קדושת דמים, שצריך לפדותן והדמים קדושים. ודוקא כשנטמאו יש להן פדיון אם לא קדשו בכלי, אבל לא נטמאו אף על פי שלא קדשו בכלי אין פודים אותן:
העופות והעצים והלבונה וכלי שרת שנטמאו אין להם פדיון. שלא נאמר פדיון בקדושת הגוף אלא בבהמה בעלת מום, דכתיב (ויקרא כ״ז:י״א) ואם כל בהמה טמאה, אשר לא יקריבו ממנה קרבן לה׳, והעריך הכהן אותה וכו׳. ובבעלי מומים שנפדו הכתוב מדבר, דאי בבהמה טמאה ממש, כשהוא אומר (שם) ואם בבהמה הטמאה ופדה בערכך, הרי בהמה טמאה אמורה. ואשמועינן במתניתין דאע״ג דאשכחן בקדוש קדושת הגוף ונפל ביה מומא דמפריק, העופות והעצים והלבונה וכלי שרת דקדשי קדושת הגוף ונטמאו לא מפרקי:

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.
