אחת בשחרית ואחת בין הערבים. כיון דהוי ליה שהות בינתים כדי לידע הוה ליה כשתי העלמות:
רבן גמליאל מחייב. דסבר אין ידיעה לחצי שיעור לחלק שלא יצטרף עמו החצי האחר:
וחכמים פוטרין. דסברי הידיעה שבין שני חצאי שיעור מחלקת ביניהם ולא נעשה כאילו היו שני חצאי שיעור בהעלם אחת. והלכה כחכמים:

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.
