וקטנים אין מזמנין עליהם. דוקא קטנים שאין יודעים למי מברכין, אבל קטן היודע למי מברכין מזמנין עליו. ואיכא מרבוותא דאמרי דלא אמרו קטן היודע למי מברכין מזמנין עליו אלא בבן שלש עשרה שנה ויום אחד שלא הביא שתי שערות והוא הנקרא קטן פורח אבל בבציר מהכי אין מזמנין עליו, ואפילו יודע למי מברכין. ובירושלמי מייתי הלכה למעשה דאין מזמנין על הקטן כלל עד שיגדל ויביא שתי שערות. ונשים מזמנות לעצמן ועבדים מזמנין לעצמן, אבל נשים עם עבדים לא משום פריצותא:
עד כזית. וכן הלכה, ולא כרבי יהודה דאמר עד כביצה:

ברכות פרק ז׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
בשלשה והוא אומר ברכו – For even without himself, there is a group to be invited/Zimmun and similarly for all of them.
אחד עשרה ואחד עשרה רבוא – The beginning of the Mishnah is Rabbi Akiba as he said, just as we find in the synagogue when we have arrived at ten, there is no division [of the community] whether there are many or few, so too here [in this case], there is no division [of the group into smaller units].
במאה אומר נברך לה' אלהינו – The concluding phrase of the Mishnah is all [according to] Rabbi Yosi HaGelili, who said that according to majority of the community, they recite the [appropriate] blessing, as it says, “Psalms 68:27): “ln assemblies bless God,[ the LORD, O you who are from the fountain of Israel].” But the Halakhic decision is that from three [adult males] until ten [adult males] but the tenth is not included, the person who blesses (as the leader) recites: “Let us bless [Him] that we have eaten from what is His, and everyone answers: “Blessed that we have eaten from what is His, and through His Goodness we live.” And ten or from ten and above, the person leading the blessing states, “We give praise to God that we have eaten from what is His and through His goodness we live.
רבי ישמעאל אומר ברכו את ה' המבורך – and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yishmael.
בשלשה והוא אומר ברכו. דהא בלאו דידיה איכא זימון, וכן כולם:
אחד עשרה ואחד עשר רבוא. הך רישא רבי עקיבא היא, דאמר מה מצינו בבית הכנסת משהגיעו לעשרה אין חילוק בין רבים למועטים הכא נמי אין חילוק:
במאה אומר נברך לה׳ אלהינו. הך סיפא כולה רבי יוסי הגלילי היא, דאמר לפי רוב הקהל הן מברכין שנאמר במקהלות ברכו אלהים. ופסק הלכה משלשה ועד עשרה, ואין עשרה בכלל, המברך אומר נברך שאכלנו משלו וכולן עונים ברוך שאכלנו משלו ובטובו חיינו. ועשרה או מעשרה ולמעלה המברך אומר נברך לאלהינו שאכלנו משלו, וכולן עונים ברוך אלהינו שאכלנו משלו ובטובו חיינו:
רבי ישמעאל אומר ברכו את ה׳ המבורך. והלכה כר׳ ישמעאל:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

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.

וקטנים אין מזמנין עליהם – Especially small children who do not know to Whom they are reciting a blessing (ברכת המזון ) a minor who knows to Whom He is reciting a blessing, they may invite him to join [in the group recitation of ברכת המזון], and there is something remarkable that says that we are not speaking about a minor who knows to Whom they are reciting the blessing that we invite him to join [in the group recitation of ברכת המזון] but rather with a child who is thirteen years of age plus one day, who has not brought forth two pubic hairs (which demonstrate his having attained adulthood), and he is called a “blossoming minor” but younger than this, we do not invite him to join [in the group recitation of ברכת המזון] , even if he knows to Whom we are reciting this blessing. And in the Jerusalem Talmud, they bring the Practical Halakha, that we don’t invite the Minor at all, until he grows up and brings forth two pubic hairs. And women invite other [women] to recite ברכת המזון as a group for themselves and slaves invite other [slaves] to recite ברכת המזוןas a group for themselves., but women are not [invited] with slaves because of licentiousness [that would ensue].
