Bartenura
הדר עם עם הארץ. מוקפות צמיד פתיל. טמאות, משום אשתו נדה, שמא הסיטה וישבה וטמאה את הכל:
ר׳ יהודה מטהר בתנור. משום דאי אפשר להסיטו, דסתמו מחובר קצת, שעושין לו טפילה לחברו בארץ. ומאן דמטמא סבר גזרינן מחובר אטו שאינו מחובר. ואין הלכה כר׳ יהודה:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Taharos Perek 8 Mishnah 2
טהרות פרק ח׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
המפקיד כלים אצל עם הארץ טמאים טמא מת – and requiring sprinkling on the third and seventh days (see Numbers 19:19).
אם מכירו – if the commoner recognizes the depositor that he is a Kohen who consumes heave-offering/priest’s due, he is careful regarding his deposit that it will not be defiled by a corpse, and it doesn’t require sprinkling [on the third and seventh days].
אבל טמאים מדרס – because his wife is a menstruating woman, lest she sat upon them, for he is not careful from the defilement of his wife.
בזמן שהיא רוצצת (at the time when it is tightly packed) – that the covering presses the clothing on account of the fact that it is too full.
טמאים מדרס – the clothes [are defiled through treading]. For when his wife sits upon the box [full of clothing] or leans upon it, she weighs down upon the clothing.
אם אינה רוצצת טמאין מדף (if it is not tightly packed, they are unclean with indirect contact for conferring ritual impurity) -meaning to say, a lighter defilement, to defile foods and liquids, like on top of a person with gonorrhea who does not defile clothing.
אע"פ שמפתח ביד בעלים – for we are concerned lest he shook it.
המפקיד כלים אצל עם הארץ טמאים טמא מת. וצריכין הזאה שלישי ושביעי:
אם מכירו. אם העם הארץ מכיר במפקיד שהוא כהן אוכל בתרומה, זהיר על הפקדון שלו שלא יטמאנו במת, ואינו צריך הזאה:
אבל טמאין מדרס. משום אשתו נדה שמא ישבה עליהן, דאינו נזהר מטומאת אשתו:
בזמן שהיא רוצצת. שהכיסוי דוחק הבגדים מחמת שהיא מלאה ביותר:
טמאים מדרס. הבגדים. דכשאשתו יושבת על התיבה או נשענת עליה, מכבדת על הבגדים:
אם אינה רוצצת טמאין מדף. כלומר טומאה קלה, לטמא אוכלין ומשקין, כמו על גבו של זב שאינו מטמא בגדים:
אע״פ שהמפתח ביד בעלים. דחיישינן שמא הסיטה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

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.

הדר עם עם הארץ. מוקפות צמיד פתיל – they are ritually impure because his wife is a menstruating woman, lest she shook it and sat and defiled everything.
ר' יהודה מטהר בתנור – because it is impossible to shake it, for it is merely attached a bit, and they make it secondary to attach it to the ground. But the one who defiles it (i.e., Rabbi Yossi) holds that we make the degree that something attached is because of that which is not attached. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
