ולא מן התלוש על המחובר וכו׳ דהיינו מן החיוב על הפטור ומן הפטור על החיוב:
ולא מן החדש על הישן. דכתיב (דברים י״ד:כ״ב) היוצא השדה שנה שנה, ולא משנה זו על של חברתה:
ולא שכחתי מלברכך ומלהזכיר שמך עליו. לפי שמברכים להפריש תרומה. וכן על מעשר ראשון ושני ומעשר עני, ולפדיון מעשר שני, ולחלה, על כולן מברכים:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Maaser Sheni Perek 5 Mishnah 12
מעשר שני פרק ה׳ משנה י"ב
Bartenura
לא אכלתי באוני – the entire day of death is [a period of] grief according to the Torah, and even after the burial, and the night that is after the day of the death is [a period of] grief according to the Rabbis. And similarly, the day of burial which is not the day of death is [part of the period of] grief according to the Rabbis.
לא לקחתי ממנו ארון ותכריכין למת – and in a similar manner, for the [still] living, it is forbidden, for it is prohibited to purchase clothing and things like it from the Second Tithe [monies] as it is taught at the conclusion of the first chapter (Mishnah 7):” [this is the general principle:] if one purchased anything other than food, drink or anointment [with money from Second Tithe], if he purchased, he must consume of an equal value.” And [the Mishnah] did not make mention here the bier and the burial shrouds other to inform us that it not matter if he anointed from it [that was to be used] for the dead person, for he cannot make confession, as it says (Deuteronomy 26:14): “[I have not eaten] of it [while in mourning],” from the body of the [Second] Tithe, but even if he purchased a bier and burial shrouds [from it] and did not give from the substance of the Tithe for the dead, he is not able to recite the confession.
לא אכלתי באוני. כל יום המיתה הויא אנינות דאורייתא ואפילו לאחר קבורה. ולילה שלאחר יום המיתה הויא אנינות דרבנן, וכן יום קבורה שאינו יום המיתה הויא אנינות דרבנן:
לא לקחתי ממנו ארון ותכריכין למת. וכהאי גונא אפילו לחי אסור, שהרי אסור לקנות מלבוש וכיוצא בזה ממעשר שני, כדתנן לעיל סוף פרק קמא כל שהוא חוץ לאכילה ושתיה וסיכה אם לקח יאכל כנגדו. ולא נקט הכא ארון ותכריכים אלא לאשמועינן דלא מיבעיא אם סך ממנו למת שאינו יכול להתודות, דכתיב ממנו, מגופו של מעשר, אלא אפילו קנה ארון ותכריכים דלא נתן מגופו של מעשר על מת, אינו יכול להתודות:

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.
