מסמר שאחר הככר. בצק הבולט מן הככר של לחם כמין מסמר, ויש שעושין אותו כך לסימן.
וגרגיר מלח קטן. שנדבק בככר ונאפה עמו.
והחרחור. שנשרף הלחם פחות מעובי אצבע סביבותיו. חרחור, לשון נחר מפוח מאש (ירמיהו ו׳:כ״ט):
ר׳ יוסי אומר. כל שהשרוף נאכל עם הככר, הוי חיבור. ואם נגע טבול יום בשרוף כאילו נגע בפת, ואי לא, לא הוי חיבור. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוסי:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Tevul Yom Perek 1 Mishnah 4
טבול יום פרק א׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
הצרור שבככר – that they customarily place a pebble stone within the loaf as a sign/symbol so that it not be exchanged for another, and sometimes they place a large lump of salt or a lupine. All of these are not considered a connection/junction to the bread, but if a primary source of ritual defilement touched one of these, it is not as if it touched the bread itself, and all the more so, a person who immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom that the loaf of heave-offering/priest’s due is not invalidated by this.
והחרחור יותר מכאצבע (the burnt part of the loaf/the burnt crust larger than a finger’s breadth) – and similarly when it is burnt from the bread with more than the thickness of a finger, and an impure person or a person who immersed himself that day had touched the burnt part, it is not a connection/junction to/with the bread.
ר' יוסי אומר כל שאינו נאכל עמו – is not a connection/junction. And We don’t estimate the width of a finger like the first Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
צרור שבככר. שרגילים לשום צרור אבן בתוך הככר לסימן שלא יתחלף באחר, ופעמים שמשימין גרגיר של מלח גדול או תורמוס. כל הני לא חשיבי חיבור בלחם, ואם נגע אב הטומאה באחד מהן, לא הוי כאילו נגע בלחם עצמו. וכל שכן טבול יום שלא נפסל ככר של תרומה בכך:
והחרחור יותר מכאצבע. וכן כשנשרף מן הלחם ביותר מעובי אצבע, ונגע טמא או טבול יום בשרוף, לא הוי חיבור ללחם:
ר׳ יוסי אומר כל שאינו נאכל עמו. לא הוי חיבור. ולא משערינן בעובי אצבע כתנא קמא. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוסי:
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?

מסמר שאחר הככר – dough that protrudes from the loaf of bread like a kind of nail, and there are those what make it as such for a sign.
וגרגיר מלח קטן (and a small globule/lump of salt) – that was attached to the loaf and baked with it.
והחרחור (and the burnt crust/part of the loaf)- that the bread is burnt less than the thickness of a finger surrounding it. [The word] חרחור is the language of (Jeremiah 6:29): “The bellows puff; the lead is consumed by fire. [Yet the smelter smelts to no purpose – the dross is not separated out].”/"נחר מפוח מאש".
ר' יוסי אומר – all that is burnt is consumed with the loaf, it is a connection/junction, and if the person who immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom touched that which is burnt, it is as if he touched the bread. But if not, it is not an attachment/connection. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
