מעשר שני פרק ב׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
רבי שמעון אומר אין סכין. קסבר לא ניתן שמן של מעשר שני לסיכה אלא לאכילה בלבד:
אם הקל בתרומה. שאתה מודה דמותרת בסיכה, כדתנן בפרק שמיני דשביעית וכן בתרומה וכן במעשר שני, ולא קא מפלגת בתרומה:
שהקל בכרשינין ובתלתן. של תרומה יותר מבמעשר שני, כדבעינן למימר לקמן, הלכך דין הוא נמי שנקל בסיכה גבי תרומה. ואין הלכה כר׳ שמעון:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Maaser Sheni Perek 2 Mishnah 3
מעשר שני פרק ב׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
תאכל צמחונים – when they are moist vegetables and he should not leave them alone until they grow and they will not be appropriate for eating, but Terumah can be eaten whether as buds (directly from the capsules before they are dry) or as dry.
ב"ש אומרים: כל מעשיה בטהרה – even though fenugreek is not a complete food, and Terumah does not apply to it other than for the fact that it is eaten by some people, therefore, it is eaten in defilement; nevertheless, according to the School of Shammai, it is necessary that all of its preparations must be done in cleanness/purity, and with washing of the hands according to the law of all the rest of Terumah foods, for whomever comes in contact with them must first wash their hands. And the reason is in order that they would know that they are Terumah and that they should not be fed to foreigners (i.e., non-Kohanim).
חוץ מחפיפתה – hat without washing of the hands, one can comb the head with it, for it was their practice to comb their heads with fenugree.
כל מעשיה בטומאה חוץ משרייתה – [steeping it] in water, that it is necessary to steep/soak them in ritual purity, for if he steeps them without the washing of the hands, their steeping makes them fit to receive impurity. And he defiles them immediately in his hands, and they forbade this alone because of the recognition in order that they would know that it is Terumah/Priest’s Due.
תאכל צמחונים. כשהן ירקות לחין, ולא יניחם עד שיגדלו ולא יהיו ראויות לאכילה. אבל בתרומה תאכל בין צמחונין בין יבישים:
בית שמאי אומרים כל מעשיה בטהרה. אע״ג דתלתן לאו אוכל גמור הוא, ואין תרומה נוהגת בו אלא לפי שנאכל לקצת בני אדם, הילכך נאכל בטומאה, מכל מקום לבית שמאי צריך שיהיו כל מעשיה בטהרה ובנטילת ידים, כדין כל שאר אוכלים של תרומה שהנוגע בהם צריך נטילת ידים תחלה, וטעמא כדי שידעו שהם תרומה ולא יאכלו לזרים:
חוץ מחפיפתה. שבלא נטילת ידים יכולים לחוף בהן ראשן. וכך היה דרכן לחוף ראשן בתלתן:
כל מעשיה בטומאה חוץ משרייתה. במים, שצריך לשרותן בטהרה. שאם שורה אותן בלא נטילת ידים שרייתן מכשירתן לקבל טומאה, והוא מטמאן מיד בידיו. ואסרו זה בלבד משום היכר כדי שידעו שהיא תרומה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

ר:ש אומר: אין סכין – He thinks that oil of Second Tithe is not given for anointing but only for eating alone.
אם הקל בתרומה – as you admit that it is permitted for anointing, as it is taught in the eighth chapter of [Mishnah – Tractate] Shevi’it (see Mishnah 2), and similarly with Terumah and similarly with Second Tithe, and we do not disregard Terumah/heave-offering.
שהקל בכרשינין ובתלתן – of Terumah/heave-offering more than with Second Tithe, as we require to say further on, therefore, it is a law also that we will be lenient with anointing concerning Terumah, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
