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.

And when they told him that Rabbi Eliezer stated that it should be burned, he said to them: “Be silent,” for I am not permitted to interpet how much Rabbi Eliezer was lenient in this, as the Halakha is according to the Sages.
