נשים ועבדים וקטנים כו׳ דאמר קרא (ויקרא כ״ג:מ״ב) כל האזרח בישראל, להוציא את הנשים, דאע״ג דחייבות באכילת מצה ליל ראשון של פסח אין חייבות בסוכה ליל ראשון של חג:
קטן שאינו צריך לאמו. כל שנעור משנתו ואינו קורא אימא אימא הוי א״צ לאמו וחייב ופחות מכאן פטור. וכן הלכה. ודוקא שקורא ושונה ואינו שותק עד שתבא אמו אליו הוא דנקרא צריך לאמו, אבל קורא פעם אחת ושותק לאו צריך לאמו הוא:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Sukkah Perek 2 Mishnah 9
סוכה פרק ב׳ משנה ט׳
Bartenura
סוכתו קבע – if he has nice vessels and nice dining couches, he brings them up into the Sukkah.
משתסרח המקפה – when the stiff dish (of grist, oil and onions) becomes spoiled, every cooked food that is neither soft nor hard but rather the formation of coagulated substance is called a stiff dish. But most people detest a cooked dish like this, and a little bit of water ruins it completely. And the stiff dish of pounded beans hastens to become ruined in rain more than other stiff dishes, and if rain fell until if he had before him a stiff dish of pounded beans, it would become ruined, and it is permitted to leave [the Sukkah] immediately.
ושפך לו - his master a pitcher on the face of the servant, that is to say, I have no use for your service, even here, these rains show that the Holy One, blessed be He does not accept their deeds with favor.
סוכתו קבע. שאם יש לו כלים נאים ומצעות נאות מעלן לסוכה:
משתסרח המקפה. משתקלקל המקפה. כל תבשיל שאינו לא רך ולא קשה אלא קפוי קרוי מקפה. ורוב בני אדם מואסין תבשיל כזה, ובמעט מים מתקלקל לגמרי. ומקפה של גריסין של פול היא ממהרת להתקלקל בגשמים יותר משאר מקפות, ואם ירדו גשמים עד שאילו היה לפניו מקפה של גריסין היתה מתקלקלת, מותר לפנות מיד:
ושפך לו. רבו קיתון על פניו של עבד, כלומר אי אפשי בשמושך. אף כאן גשמים הללו מראין שאין הקב״ה מקבל מעשיהם ברצון:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
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.

נשים ועבדים וקטנים כו' – as it states in the Bible (Leviticus 23:42): “all citizens in Israel [shall live in booths],” excluding the women, for even though they are obligated in the eating of Matzah on the first night of Passover, they are not obligated in [dwelling in] the Sukkah on the first night of the Holiday.
קטן שאינו צריך לאמו – all who stir from their sleep and do not cry out: “Mommy, Mommy,” he doesn’t need his mother and is obligated [in dwelling in the Sukkah] but younger than this, he is exempt. Ands such is the Halakha. But specifically when he cries out and repeats it and is not silent until his mother comes to him, he is called someone who needs his mother; but if he cries out one time and then is silent, he doesn’t need his mother.
