אונין. אגודות של פשתן מנופץ, ונותנין אותן בתנור ומתלבנים:
שיהבילו. שיתחממו שיעלה בהם ההבל:
ליורה. של צבעים:
אלא כדי שיקלוט את העין. שיקלוט הצבע מבעוד יום:
ובית הלל מתירים. לתתן לתוכו מבעוד יום ותהא קולטת כל הלילה. ולא שרו בית הלל אלא ביורה עקורה מן האש, שאם יש תחתיה אש בשבת אסור, גזירה שמא יחתה בגחלים. וצריך נמי שתהא היורה סתומה וטוחה בטיט, גזירה שמא יגיס ויהפך בה בשבת, וחייב משום מבשל:

ולא טוענין עמו – on the donkey.
ולא מגביהין – on to it a burden on its shoulder, for it appears as if he is assisting it to carry the burden on the Sabbath.
אלא כדי שיגיע למקום קרוב – that is to say, that the place that he wants to carry it to is close that he would be able to arrive there while it is still day (i.e., on Friday).
וב"ה מתירין – in order that he leaves from the opening of his house while it is still daylight.
ולא טוענין עמו. על החמור:
ולא מגביהים. עליו משאוי על כתפו, דמיחזי כמסייעו להוליך המשאוי בשבת:
אלא כדי שיגיע למקום קרוב. כלומר שיהא המקום שרוצה להוליכו קרוב שיוכל להגיע שם מבעוד יום:
ובית הלל מתירין. כדי שיצא מפתח ביתו מבעוד יום:

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.

אונין – bundles of beaten [wet] flax, and we put them in the oven and heated.
שיבהילו – when they are warmed, the steam would rise up on them
ליורה – of the dyers.
אלא כדי שיקלוט את העין – that it would absorb the color while it is still day (i.e., on Friday).
וב"ה מתירין – to put them into it while it still day so that it would absorb it all night long. But the School of Hillel did not permit other than with a dyer’s kettle uprooted from the fire, for if there is fire underneath it on Shabbat, it is prohibited, as a preventive decree lest he rake the coals underneath the ashes (Talmud Shabbat 18b and 34b). But he also needs that the kettle is sealed with plaster, as a preventive decree lest he stir it and turn it over on Shabbat (Talmud Shabbat 18b), and he would be liable because of [the prohibition against] cooking.
