האונן. כל זמן שלא נקבר המת קרוי אונן, ולאחר שנקבר כל יום המיתה הוא קרוי אונן, ולילה שלאחריו הוא אונן מדרבנן. ולא העמידו דבריהם במקום כרת גבי פסח, הלכך שוחטין עליו, דלאורתא חזי:
והמפקח בגל. שנפל על אדם ואין ידוע אם ימצאנו חי או מת. שוחטין עליו דבחזקת טהרה עומד עד שיודע שנטמא:
שוחטין עליהם. בחבורת אחרים:
שמא יביאוהו לידי פסול. שמא יטמא אונן למתו מתוך טרדו. ומפקח גל שמא ימצאנו מת ונמצא שהאהיל על הטומאה. והחבוש שמא לא יצא. ובחבוש בבית האסורים של עובדי כוכבים מיירי, שאע״פ שהבטיחוהו, שמא לא יוציאוהו. אשר פיהם דבר שוא. אבל חבוש ע״י ישראל, כגון לכופו להוציא אשה פסולה או לשלם ממון, שוחטין עליהם אפילו בפני עצמן, אם הבטיחוהו להוציאו, דשארית ישראל לא ידברו כזב. ואם בית האסורים בתוך ירושלים אפילו בידי עובדי כוכבים שוחטין עליהם בפני עצמן, דאפשר דמעיילי לפסח לבית האסורים ואכלי ליה התם. וחולה וזקן אין שוחטין עליהן בפני עצמן, שמא יכבד עליהם החולי ולא יוכלו לאכול כזית:
לפיכך. הואיל ובשעת שחיטה ראויין היו ונזרק הדם עליהם, אם אירע בהם פסול כמו שאמרנו, פטורים מלעשות פסח שני:
חוץ מן המפקח הגל. ונמצא מת תחתיו שצריך לעשות פסח שני שהיה טמא מתחילתו קודם שחיטה שהרי האהיל על הטומאה משעה שהתחיל לפקח. והוא שהיה הגל עגול דודאי האהיל עליו מתחלה. אבל אם היה הגל ארוך, שמא בשעת שחיטה עדיין לא האהיל על הטומאה ופטור מלעשות פסח שני:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Pesachim Perek 8 Mishnah 7
פסחים פרק ח׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
אין שוחטין את הפסח ביחיד – as it is written (Deuteronomy 16:5): “You are not permitted to slaughter the Passover sacrifice [in any of the settlements that the LORD your God is giving you],” that is to say, for an individual.
אפילו חבורה של מאה – Rabbi Yosi said it, that is to say, the matter does not depend other than on eating. An individual and he is able to eat an olive’s bulk, we slaughter for him; one hundred people and none of them can eat an olive’s bulk, we don’t slaughter for them, and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yosi.
אין עושין חבורת נשים ועבדים – to slaughter the Passover offering. Women and slaves are in one group because it offers an occasion to sin, but minors and slaves are not in one group, because of the licentiousness of pederasty. But women and slaves, each one alone, they make a group.
אין שוחטין את הפסח ביחיד. דכתיב (דברים ט״ז:ה׳) לא תוכל לזבוח את הפסח וכו׳, כלומר ביחיד:
אפילו חבורה של מאה. ר׳ יוסי קאמר לה, כלומר לא תליא מילתא אלא באכילה. יחיד ויכול לאכול כזית שוחטין עליו, מאה ואין כל אחד מהם יכולין לאכול כזית אין שוחטין עליהם. והלכה כר׳ יוסי:
אין עושין חבורת נשים ועבדים. לשחוט פסח. נשים ועבדים בחבורה אחת, משום הרגל עבירה. ולא קטנים ועבדים בחבורה אחת, משום פריצותא דמשכב זכור. אבל נשים ועבדים כל חדא באנפי נפשה עושין:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

האונן – all the time that the dead is not buried he is called an Onen (during the period between death of one’s loved one and burial), and after he is buried, all the day of the death he is called an Onen. And the night afterwards he is an Onen from the Rabbis. But they did not let their words stand in place of extirpation concerning the Passover offering. Therefore, we slaughter for him for in evening it is fitting.
והמפקח בגל – that fell on a a person and it is unknown if they would find him alive or dead, we slaughter [the Passover offering] for him as he is presumed to be ritually pure until he knows that he has become defiled.
שוחטין עליהם – in the group of others.
שמא יביאוהו לידי פסול – lest he become defiled as an Onen for his dead in the midst of his being busily engaged, and opening up a heap of debris, lest we find him dead, and it is found that he formed a tent (i.e., spread himself) on the defilement [of the corpse]. And the imprisoned, lest he not leave, and we are speaking of someone imprisoned in a jail of idolaters. For even though that they promised him lest they not free him, as their mouths spoke falsehoods, but if he was imprisoned by an Israelite, such as case where they force him to divorce an invalid woman, or to pay money, we slaughter for them [a Passover offering] , even by themselves, if they promised to set them free, for the Remnant of Israel does not speak falsehoods. And if the prison was in the midst of Jerusalem, even in the hands of idolaters, we slaughter [a Passover offering] for them by themselves, for it is possible that they are entering for Passover to the prison and eating it there. But for a sick person and an elder, we don’t slaughter [the Passover offering] for them by themselves, lest the illness become heavy upon them and they are not able to eat even an olive’s bulk.
לפיכך – since at the time of the slaughtering they were appropriate and the blood is tossed upon them if a defilement befell them, like that which we said that they are exempt from performing the Second Passover.
חוץ מן המפקח הגל – and it is found that he died underneath it one needs to do the Second Passover , for he was ritually impure from the beginning prior to the slaughtering it formed a tent on the defilement from the time that he began to open up the heap of debris, and if the heap was round it certainly formed a tent upon him from the beginning, but if the heap was long, perhaps at the time of the slaughter [of the Passover offering], it had not formed a tent on the defilement, and he is exempt from making the Second Passover.
