אשת חבר. שנאמנת על הטהרות, דאשת חבר הרי היא כחבר:
שהניחה לאשת עם הארץ. שאינה נאמנת, דאשת עם הארץ ובניו כמותו, עד שיקבלו עליהם דברי חבירות:
פמקה הרחים. גמרה טחינתה ופסקה מלטחון. דכל זמן שהיא עסוקה במלאכתה בריחים אינה הולכת וממשמשת בבית:

Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Taharos Perek 7 Mishnah 5
טהרות פרק ז׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
בזמן שהוא רואה – at the time when the owner of the house is able to see those who enter the house and those who depart from the house.
האוכלין והמשקין וכו' טמאין – for we are concerned that perhaps this guard touched them since he is a commoner/not careful in his observance of the laws of Levitical impurity and tithing.
אבל המשכבות והמושבות וכו' טהורין – for a commoner does not perform acts of lying or sitting and doesn’t defile through shaking, for they (i.e., the Rabbis) did not decree other than on the defilement of his contact alone.
ולא את היושבים – even though that if he stands he sees him, since he doesn’t see the person who is sitting, everything is ritually impure.
אפילו מובל (even someone immobilized) – even if this guard/watchman who is a commoner/not careful in his observance of the laws of Levitical purity and tithing is immobilized, that he is unable to walk unless they carry him.
ואפילו כפות – and tied up.
הכל טמא – for we don’t defile them because of the lying or sitting of a commoner, but rather because we are concerned that perhaps a heathen or a menstruating woman enters there and she sat or shook something and defiled everything.
בזמן שהוא רואה. בזמן שבעל הבית יכול לראות הנכנסין בבית והיוצאין מן הבית:
האוכלין והמשקין וכו׳ טמאין. דחיישינן שמא נגע בהן השומר הזה שהוא עם הארץ:
אבל המשכבות והמושבות וכו׳ טהורין. שאין עם הארץ עושה משכב ומושב ואינו מטמא בהיסט, דלא גזרו אלא על טומאת מגעו בלבד:
ולא את היושבים. אע״פ שאם עומד רואהו, כיון שאינו רואה את היושב, הכל טמא:
אפילו מובל. אפילו היה השומר הזה שהוא עם הארץ, מובל, שאינו יכול לילך אא״כ מובילים אותו:
אפילו כפות. קשור:
הכל טמא. שלא מטמאינן להו משום משכב ומושב של עם הארץ, אלא משום דחיישינן שמא נכנס שם נכרי או אשה נדה וישבה והסיטה וטמאה את הכל:

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.
