הרי אלו חולין – what he found is non-sacred, for I say that he took Second Tithe.
הרי שם מנה – His father said to him: “Behold there is a Maneh (i.e., one-hundred) of Second Tithe” and he found two hundred – one hundred [Second] Tithe and one hundred non-sacred. And we don’t say that the Maneh of [Second] Tithe is taken and these are other.

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.
