טהרות פרק ב׳ משנה ח׳
Bartenura
האוכל אוכל שני לא יעשה בבית הבד. לא יתעסק לעשות שמן בבית הבד, דהא מודה ר׳ יהושע לעיל לר׳ אליעזר שהאוכל אוכל שני הוא עצמו נעשה שני ופוסל את התרומה ומטמא משקין להיות תחילה, (דהיינו השמן):
על גב הקודש. על טהרת הקודש:
הרי אלו כחולין. ואין באים לכלל שלישי:
הרי אלו כתרומה. ויש בהם שלישי. והני תנאי תרוייהו סבירא להו חולין שנעשו על טהרת הקודש לאו כקודש דמו, ושאין לך דבר שעושה רביעי בקודש אלא קודש מקודש בלבד, ופליגא אמתניתין דלעיל דקתני השל. שי שבכולן פוסל לאוכלי קודש:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Taharos Perek 3 Mishnah 1
טהרות פרק ג׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
הרוטב והגריסין שהן משקה טופח (the broth/juice/jelly of meats, and the pounded beans which moisture dripping on them/running liquid) – they are so moist when they have on them enough to moisten other objects.
הרי הן תחילה -that they are considered as a liquid.
קרשו הרי אלו שניים (if they became congealed, they are second-degree [of ritual impurity]) – for since they congealed they are considered like edibles that came in contact with liquids.
חזרו ונמוחו כביצה מכוון טהור (if they once again dissolved – if they are the volume of an egg exactly, it is pure) – that the status of food left from them and the status of liquid descended upon them, and their defilement blossomed when they were changed, but there isn’t to this liquid anything that will defile it, for when the first drop departed, the food was reduced from that of the size of an egg’s bulk, and less than an egg’s bulk it doesn’t defile others, but more than an egg’s bulk it is impure, as the reason is explained [in the Mishnah] , for when the first drop departed , that drop was defiled with an egg’s bulk of impure food, and when all of it dissolved afterwards, the drop returned and defiled everything.
הרוטב והגריסין. שהן משקה טופח. שהן לחין כל כך שיש בהן טופח על מנת להטפיח:
הרי אלו תחילה. דחשובים כמשקין:
קרשו הרי אלו שניים. דכיון שנקרשו, חשובים כאוכלים שנגעו במשקין:
חזרו ונמוחו כביצה מכוון טהור. דיצא מהן תורת אוכל וירד עליהן תורת משקה, ופרחה טומאתו כשנשתנו, ואין למשקה זה מי שיטמאנו, דמכי יצאת טפה ראשונה אמעיט האוכל מכביצה, ופחות מכביצה אין מטמא אחרים. אבל יותר מכביצה. טמא, כדמפרש טעמא, דמכי יצאת טפה ראשונה נטמאת אותה טפה בכביצה אוכל טמא, וכשנמחה אח״כ כולו חזרה הטפה וטמאה את הכל:
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?

האוכל אוכל שני לא יעשה בבית הבד – he should not engage in the making of [olive] oil in the olive press, for Rabbi Yehoshua above (in Mishnah 2 of our chapter) agrees with Rabbi Eliezer that a person who consumes food that is second degree [of ritual impurity] he himself becomes second degree [of ritual impurity and invalidates the heave offering and defiles liquids to be first degree [of ritual impurity] (that is the oil).
על גב הקודש – on the purification of Holy Things.
הרי אלו כחולין – and they don’t come into the category of third-degree [of ritual impurity].
הרי אלו כתרומה – and they do have a third degree [of ritual impurity]. And these Tannaim/Mishnaic teachers both of them (see the previous Mishnah) hold that unconsecrated foods that were made through the purification of Holy Things are not similar to Holy Things, for there isn’t anything that makes fourth degree [of ritual impurity] other than Holy Things from Holy Things alone. And they dispute with the Mishnah above (i.e., the previous Mishnah) that teaches that “third degree [of ritual impurity] spoils foods of Holy Things”/"השלישי שבכולן ...פוסל לאוכלי קודש".
