גיגיות. כלים של זהב מלאים מים, כדי שלא יכמשו עליהן:
חריות. ענפים של דקל היו מביאים בין בחול בין בשבת, ולא ערבה דכתיב כפות תמרים שתים הן, אחת ללולב ואחת למזבח. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוחנן בן ברוקא:

Mishnayos Sukkah Perek 4 Mishnah 7
סוכה פרק ד׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
מיד התינוקות שומטים את לולביהן – the older ones snatch/carry off/steal the Lulavim/palm branches from the hands of the younger children.
ואוכלים – the older ones eat the citrons/Etrogim of the younger children, and there isn’t anything like stealing in this matter for such was how they acted out of joy. Another commentary: the little children would cast their Lulavim/palm branches from their hands and eat their Etrogim/citrons on the seventh day, but the older ones would not eat their Etrogim/citrons all that day, since it was designed for a Mitzvah for part of the day, it was designated for a Mitzvah for the entire day.
התינוקות שומטים את לולביהן. הגדולים שומטים לולבי התינוקות מידן של תינוקות:
ואוכלים. הגדולים אתרוגיהן של תינוקות. ואין בדבר משום גזל שכך נהגו משום שמחה. פירוש אחר התינוקות משליכים לולביהן מידם ואוכלים אתרוגיהן בשביעי. אבל הגדולים אין אוכלים אתרוגיהן כל אותו היום, דכיון שהוקצה למצוה למקצת היום הוקצה לכולו:

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.
