Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Mikvaos Perek 6 Mishnah 5
מקואות פרק ו׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
השידה והתיבה (the safe/box and the chest) – large utensils made of wood and they are placed within a Kosher mikveh.
אלא אם כן היו נקובים כשפופרת הנוד – it is similar to a cavity/pit that we stated above (see Tractate Mikvaot, Chapter 6, Mishnah 1) that it needs to be perforated like the tube (mouth-piece) of a leather bottle (i.e., stopper of a waterskin).
בכלי גדול – as for example, where the surface is nine handbreadths or more, for its minority is for four handbreadths, it is sufficient with a perforation of four handbreadths. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
שק או קופה (sack or a basket) – a basket made from sprouts/offshoots of a peeled willows.
מטבילין בהן כמו שהן – if they are in the ocean. But they don’t require a perforation like the tube (mouthpiece) of a leather bottle (i.e., stopper of a waterskin), for all of them are filled with holes and the water in them is voided as regards the water of the Mikveh.
אינן פוסלין את המקוה – because of drawn water.
ומעלין אותן כדרכן (and bring them out in the ordinary way) – as for example, in a Mikveh that has in it forty Seah defined exactly as we state further on (see Tractate Mikvaot, Chapter 7, Mishnah 6) regarding a cushion or mattress of leather, since he lifted up their rims/lips from the water, the water within them is [considered] drawn [water]. How should he do it? Immerse them and raise them through their rims at the bottom of the vessel, for we are not concerned about a sack or a basket, for the water that is within them is not considered drawn water to invalidate the Mikveh.
השידה והתיבה. כלים גדולים של עץ ומונחים בתוך מקוה כשר:
אלא אם כן היו נקובים כשפופרת הנוד. דומיא דעוקה דאמרינן לעיל שצריך שתהא נקובה כשפופרת הנוד:
בכלי גדול. כגון בר תשעה טפחים או יותר, דמיעוטו הוי ארבעה טפחים, סגי בנקיבת ארבעה טפחים. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
שק או קופה. סל עשוי מנצרים של ערבה קלופין:
מטבילין בהן כמו שהן. אם הן בים. ולא בעו נקיבה כשפופרת הנוד, שכולם מלאים נקבים ובטלים מים שבתוכן לגבי מי מקוה:
אינן פוסלין את המקוה. משום מים שאובין:
ומעלין אותן כדרכן. כגון במקוה שיש בו ארבעים סאה מצומצמות דאמרינן לקמן דכר וכסת של עור כיון שהגביה שפתותיהם מן המים, המים שבתוכן שאובין, כיצד יעשה, מטבילן ומעלה אותן דרך שוליהן, ובשק וקופה לא חיישינן, דלא חשיבי מים שבתוכן שאובין לפסול את המקוה:

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.
