והיכן היו מנענעין. השתא מהדר תנא להא דתנינן לעיל, כל לולב שיש בו ג׳ טפחים כדי לנענע, אלמא מצוה בנענוע, והיכן מנענעים:
בהודו לה׳ תחלה. תחלת המקרא:
וסוף. סוף המקרא, כי לעולם חסדו. ואית דמפרשי תחלה הודו ראשון. וסוף, הודו אחרון שבסוף ההלל. והכי מסתברא. וכיצד מנענע, מוליך ומביא כדי לעצור רוחות רעות, מעלה ומוריד כדי לעצור טללים רעים. ובהולכה מנענע שלשה פעמים וכן בהבאה וכן בעליה וכן בירידה, על כל אחת ואחת שלשה פעמים:
והם לא נענעו אלא באנא ה׳ הושיעה נא בלבד. ואין כך הלכה אלא כדברי ב״ה:
יטול על שלחנו. אם שכח ולא נטל לולב קודם אכילה יפסיק סעודתו ויטול על שלחנו:

סוכה פרק ג׳ משנה י׳
Bartenura
מי שהיה עבד או אשה או קטן וכו' – Whomever is not obligated in a matter cannot fulfill that obligation on behalf of others. Therefore, he must answer after him word by word what he recites.
ותהא לו מארה – for he had not studied.
עונה אחריו הללויה – on every word that he says, for that is how they are accustomed to respond after the recitation of Hallel on every single word, Hallelujah.
מי שהיה עבד או אשה או קטן וכו׳ מי שאינו חייב בדבר אינו מוציא אחרים ידי חובתן. לכך צריך שיענה אחריו מלה במלה מה שהוא אומר:
ותהא לו מארה. שלא למד:
עונה אחריו הללויה. על כל דבר שהוא אומר, שכך היו רגילין לענות אחר מקרא את ההלל על כל דבר ודבר הללויה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
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.

What if I miss a day?

והיכן היו מנענעין – now the Tanna/teacher returns to that which we taught above (Tractate Sukkah, Chapter 3, Mishnah 1): Any Lulav that has in it three handbreadths in order to [hold it in his hand] and shake it, so we see that it is a Mitzvah to shake it (Talmud Sukkah 37b).
בהודו לה' תחלה – the beginning of the Biblical verse (Psalms 118:1).
וסוף – the end of the Biblical verse, “for God’s lovingkindness endures forever” (Psalms 118:29). But there are those who interpret the beginning of the first “Praise the LORD for He is good” (Psalms 118:1) and the end, and the end, the last “Praise the LORD [for He is good]” at the conclusion of Hallel (Psalms 118:29), and this makes sense. And how does he shake it? He moves it back and forth in order to prevent the evil winds, moves it up and down to prevent evil dew (Menahot 62a). And when he moves it, he shakes it three times ad similarly when he moves it [back and] forth, and similarly when he moves it up and similarly going down, on each and every one three times.
והם לא נענעו אלא באנא ה' הושיעה נא בלבד - and this is not the Halakha but rather according to the words of the School of Hillel.
יטול על שלחנו – if he forgot and did not take up the Lulav prior to eating, he interrupts his meal and take it up at his table.
