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.

אפילו אב הטומאה – even if this person was a primary source of ritual impurity, and the liquids which came down upon him were defiled, but we stated above (Tractate Makhshirin, Chapter 1, Mishnah 1): “that impure liquids impart uncleanness whether intentionally and/or unintentionally,” nevertheless, they do not make fit for Levitical uncleanness, since the falling of rain waters upon him was unintentional/not acceptable.
ואם ניער (but if he shook off – the rain) – like he shook off his garment [from the dust]” [Shabbat 147a and Rashi’s commentary]; that he shook his body to remove the rain from upon it.
בכי יותן – the water that falls from him are made fit for Levitical uncleanness.
להקר – to cool himself
או לידוח – to wash his body, as for example that he was dirty with plaster or with excrement/filthy matter.
בטמא – if he was an impure person.
טמאים – the waters [are impure]. But if they fell on the fruit and made them fit for Levitical uncleanness and defiled them as one.
ובטהור בכי יותן – and he makes them fit for Levitical uncleanness.
