הלוקח מים ומלח וכו׳ מים ומלח אין נקנים בכסף מעשר שני, דכתיב (דברים י״ד:כ״ו) ונתת הכסף בכל אשר תאוה נפשך, כלל, בבקר ובצאן וביין ובשכר, פרט, ובכל אשר תשאלך נפשך, חזר וכלל, כלל ופרט וכלל אי אתה דן אלא כעין הפרט, מה הפרט מפורש דבר שהוא אוכל וגדולי קרקע, דבקר וצאן גדלים מן הצמחים שהם גדולי קרקע, ותלוש, ודבר המתקיים עד שמוליכן לירושלים, אף כל דבר שהוא אוכל וגדולי קרקע ותלוש, ודבר המתקיים, יצאו מים ומלח שאע״פ שהן אוכל אינן גדולי קרקע, יצאו פירות המחוברים לקרקע, שאינן תלושים, יצאו פירות הנרקבים קודם שיגיעו לירושלים שאינן דבר המתקיים, שכל אלו אין נקחים בכסף מעשר:
לא קנה מעשר. ולא חלה קדושת מעשר על הדבר הקנוי ולא יצאו המעות לחולין:
הלוקח פירות שוגג. שלא היה יודע שמכסף מעשר הוא קונה:
יחזרו דמים למקומן. המוכר לוקח פירותיו ומחזיר הדמים, משום דהוי כמקח טעות, שאם היה יודע הלוקח שהם דמי מעשר לא היה לוקח בהם פירות הללו, משום טורח הדרך, וכיון דשוגג הוא בטל מקח:
מזיד. שידע שכסף מעשר הוא:
יעלו ויאכלו במקום. אשר יבחר ה׳, כלומר בירושלים:
ואם אין מקדש ירקבו. שהדבר הקנוי בכסף מעשר אינו נפדה טהור בריחוק מקום, כדתנן לקמן בפרק ג׳:

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.
How long does it take to complete the Mishnah with Mishnah Yomi?
Following the Mishnah Yomi program, one can complete the Mishnah in approximately six years.
Can anyone join Mishnah Yomi?
Yes, anyone interested in studying the Mishnah can start the Mishnah Yomi cycle. There’s no need for prior knowledge; beginners are welcome.
Do I need to know Hebrew to study Mishnah Yomi?

What if I miss a day?
If you miss a day, you can catch up by studying the missed mishnayot alongside the current day’s study or by dedicating some extra time until you’re back on track.
הלוקח מים ומלח – water and salt are not purchased with the monies of Second Tithe, as it is written (Deuteronomy 14:26): “And spend the money on anything you want”– a generalization – “cattle, sheep, wine, or other intoxicant,” – a specification – “anything that you may desire” – another generalization; “if a general rule is followed by a specification and this again by a generalization, you must be guided by the specification.” Just as the specification is explained as something that is food or grows in the ground, but cattle and sheep grow from the plants which are things that grow in the ground, and from something that is detached, and something that is preserved until one leads them to Jerusalem – even all things that are food and grow in the ground and are detached, and something that is preserved, which excludes water and salt, even though they are food, but are not [something] grown in the ground, and excludes produce that are attached to the ground that are not detached, which excludes produce that has become rotten before it arrives in Jerusalem, which is not something preserved. For all of these are not purchased with the monies of [Second] Tithe.
לא קנה מעשר – and the holiness of [Second] Tithe does not take effect on something that is purchased, and were not fulfilled through the use of [Second Tithe] monies for non-sacred [foods].
הלוקח פירות שוגג – for he did not know that from [Second] Tithe monies he was purchasing them.
יחזרו דמים למקומן – the seller takes his produce/fruits and returns the monies, because it is like a fraudulent purchase, and if the purchaser had known that they are [Second] Tithe monies, he would not have purchased with them this produce/fruits, because of the painstaking preparations on the way, and because he erred inadvertently, the purchase is nullified.
יעלו ויאכלו במקום – (Deuteronomy 14:24): “in the place where He will choose [to establish His name],” that is to say, Jerusalem.
ואם אין מקדש ירקבו – for the thing purchased with the monies of [Second] Tithe are not redeemed purely in a place distant [from Jerusalem], as it is taught in the Mishnah further on in Chapter three.
