המרעיד את האילן. להפיל פירותיו:
ונפלו על חברו. על אילן אחר, ומאותו אילן נפלו על הזרעים ועל הירקות המחוברים לקרקע, ומשקה טופח על אותן הזרעים מן המים שרגילין להשקות אותן או מגשמים שנפלו עליהן:
בית שמאי אומרים הרי הן בכי יותן. דכיון דיודע היה שיפלו פירות הללו על אותן זרעים שיש עליהן משקה טופח, גלי דעתיה דניחא ליה, והוכשרו הפירות שנפלו על גבי אותן זרעים, לקבל טומאה:
ובית הלל אומרים אינן בכי יותן. כיון דלא נפלו להדיא מן האילן על הזרעים אלא מאילן לאילן אחר:

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.

המרעיד את האילן – to cause its fruit to fall down.
ונפלו על חברו – on another tree. And from that tree, they fell on seeds and on vegetables that are attached to the ground, and liquid drips on those seeds from the water that regularly waters them or from rains that fell upon them.
בית שמאי אומרים הרי הן בכי יותן – for since he would know that these fruits would fall upon those seeds that have water dripping upon them, it reveals his intention that it is satisfactory for him, and the fruit that fell upon those seeds were made fit to receive Levitical defilement.
ובית הלל אומרים אינן בכי יותן - since they did not fall directly from the tree on to the seeds but from the tree to another tree [first].
חלי קופרי – this was his surname.
טבעון – name of a place.
עד שיתכוין – and these since they fell from one tree to another tree or from bush to bus, this is not intention, and he states the reasoning of the School of Hillel.
