בורר אוכל אוכל. מלקט האוכל אחד אחד מן הפסולת:
בורר כדרכו בחיקו. ובלבד שלא יהיה טורח ברירת הפסולת מרובה. אבל אם טורח ברירת הפסולת מרובה על טורח ברירת האוכל, כגון שהפסולת דק ביותר, אע״פ שהאוכל מרובה בשיעורו על הפסולת, מודים בית הלל שבורר את האוכל ומניח את הפסולת, דלמעוטי בטרחא עדיף:
אף מדיח ושולה. שמביא כלי מלא קטנית ונותן עליו מים והפסולת צף על פני המים ומסיר אותו בידו. שולה, כמו של נעלך (שמות ג׳). ואין הלכה כרבן גמליאל:

ביצה פרק א׳ משנה ט׳
Bartenura
אין משלחין ביום טוב – gift of a person to his friend.
אלא מנות – something prepared that is not made to be left over until the morrow, such as pieces of meat and/or fish.
וב"ה אומרים כו' – The School of Hillel did not permit other than to send via one or two people. But three or more people who carry the present is forbidden, as it the matter is too large and appears like one is bringing [things] to sell in the marketplace.
אבל לא תבואה – which is not appropriate for eating, for it requires grinding and we do not grind on the Festival Day.
ור' שמעון מתיר בתבואה – for one is able to crush it in a small mortar and cook it through the use of a pot. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
אין משלחין ביום טוב. דורון איש לרעהו:
אלא מנות. דבר מוכן שאינו עשוי להניחו למחר, כגון חתיכות בשר ודגים:
וב״ה אומרים כו׳ ולא שרו ב״ה אלא לשלוח ע״י אדם אחד או שנים, אבל שלשה בני אדם או יותר נושאי מנחה אסור, דאוושא מלתא טובא ונראין כמוליכין למכור בשוק:
אבל לא תבואה. שאינה ראויה לאכילה, שהרי צריכה טחינה ואין טוחנין ביו״ט:
ור׳ שמעון מתיר בתבואה. שיכול לכתשה במכתשת קטנה ויבשלה מעשה קדרה. ואין הלכה כר״ש:
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.

בורר אוכל אוכל – he collects food one piece at a time from the refuse.
בורר כדרכו בחיקו – and as long as it won’t be a painstaking preparation separating the large amount of refuse. But if it the painstaking preparation involved in separating the refuse is greater than the trouble involved to separate the food, such as the case where the refuse is exceptionally thin, even though the food is greater in its measure than the refuse, the School of Hillel agrees that one separates the food and sets aside the refuse, to exclude where the trouble involved is preferable.
אף מדיח ושולה – that he brings a utensil filled with pulse and puts water upon it and the refuse floats on top of the water and he removes it with his hand. The word שולה /”draw it out” is like (Exodus 3: 5 ) “Remove your sandals [from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground].” But the Halakha is not according to Rabban Gamaliel.
