מטהרים את הניצוק. דתנן במסכת מכשירין, כל הניצוק, טהור. אם מערה מכלי טהור לכלי טמא, מה שנשאר בכלי העליון, טהור, דניצוק אינו חיבור:
אמת המים הבאה מן הקברות. מודו בה צדוקים דטהורה, דכתיב (ויקרא י״א:ל״ו) מקוה מים יהיה טהור:
שהרי אין בהן דעת. שיכוונו להפסיד ממון לבעליהן:
ילך וידליק גדישו של אחר. ונמצא מפסיד את רבו מאה מנה בכל יום:

מה הוא אומר ה׳ הצדיק. כדי שלא להשלים המסכתא במי ה׳ אשר אשמע בקולו, משום אל תעמוד בדבר רע, השלים בה׳ הצדיק:

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.

מטהרים את הניצוק (you declare pure/clean an uninterrupted flow of liquid poured from vessel to vessel) – as it is taught in the Mishnah in Tractate Makhshirin [Chapter 5, Mishnah 9]: “Any unbroken stream [of water] is clean [except for the thick honey and porridge].” If you pour from a pure/clean vessel to an unclean/impure vessel, that which remains in the upper vessel is clean/pure, for an uninterrupted flow of liquid poured from vessel to vessel is not considered a connection.
