Mishnayos Sukkah Perek 3 Mishnah 4
סוכה פרק ג׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
אפילו שנים קטומין – it is referring to the myrtles/Hadasim and in the Talmud (Sukkah 34b) it raises the objection if they are broken on the top they are invalid, for it requires three and all of them whole, but if it is broken off, it is valid, even to validate all three of them which are broken on the top. And it finishes that Rabbi Yishmael retrated from the beginning of his words that he would require three Hadasim and validates even two which are broken off at the time. And this is the law if they did not bring them at all that they are broken off, according to the one who does not hold like this.
אפילו שלשתן קטומין – for beauty is not required for the Hadas/myrtle. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Tarfon.
אפילו שנים קטומין. אהדסים קאי. ובגמרא פריך אי קטום פסול והוא מצריך שלשה ליבעי כולהו שלמים, ואי קטום כשר ליכשר שלשתן קטומים. ומסיק דחזר בו רבי ישמעאל מתחלת דבריו שהיה מצריך שלשה הדסים ומכשיר אפילו שנים קטומין. והוא הדין אי לא מייתי להו כלל דקטומין כמאן דליתנהו דמי:
אפילו שלשתן קטומין. דלא בעי הדר בהדס. והלכה כרבי טרפון:

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.
