מביאין שלמים ביו״ט. שלמי חגיגה. לפי שיש בהם צורך אכילה לאדם:
ואין סומכין עליהם. שהסמיכה אסורה משום שבות, שבכל כחו היה סומך והוה ליה משתמש בבעלי חיים. אלא סומכין עליהם מעיו״ט, דלית להו לב״ש תכף לסמיכה שחיטה:
אבל לא עולות. חוץ מתמידין ומוספין שהן קרבן צבור וזמנן קבוע. אבל לא יביא עולת יחיד שאין בה אכילת הדיוט. ואפילו עולות ראיה קרבות בשאר ימות הרגל ולא ביו״ט, דרחמנא אמר (במדבר כ״ט:ל״ה) עצרת תהיה לכם, לכם ולא לגבוה:
וב״ה אומרים. מביאים שלמי חגיגה ועולות ראיה. דכתיב (דברים ט״ז:ח׳) עצרת לה׳, כל דלה׳. אבל נדרים ונדבות דברי הכל אין קריבין ביו״ט לא עולות ולא שלמים:

Mishnayos Beitzah Perek 2 Mishnah 5
ביצה פרק ב׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
לא יחם אדם חמין לרגליו – The Torah permitted the preparation of food [on Yom Tov, for that day], but not to start a fire for bathing.
וב"ה מתירין – for such it [i.e., the Torah] permitted kindling a fire for the needs of eating, it permitted it also for things which are not for the needs of eating, when there is a need for some sort of benefit. And the Halakhic decision is that hot water that was warmed on the Festival day, a person can wash his face, hands and feet in it but not his entire body, for they decreed that the Festival day/Yom Tov is like Shabbat. But hot water that was warmed from the eve of the Festival, one can wash all of one’s body in it on Yom Tov.
לא יחם אדם חמין לרגליו. אוכל נפש התירה התורה, ולא להבעיר אור בשביל רחיצה:
ובית הלל מתירין. דמתוך שהותרה הבערה לצורך אכילה הותרה נמי שלא לצורך אכילה כשיש בה צורך איזו הנאה. ופסק הלכה דחמין שהוחמו ביו״ט רוחץ בהן פניו ידיו ורגליו, אבל לא כל גופו, דגזרו יו״ט אטו שבת. וחמין שהוחמו מעיו״ט רוחץ בהן כל גופו ביו״ט:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?

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.

מביאין שלמים – on Yom Tov/the Festival day, holiday peace-offerings, because there’re is through them the need for consumption by a person.
ואין סומכין עליהם – for laying of hands upon them is prohibited because of the rabbinic decree to enhance the character of the day as a day of rest, for he would lay his hands with all of his strength and he would be making use of animals, for he lays his hands on them on the Eve of the Festival day, for the School of Shammai does not hold by the rule that immediately after the lay of hands comes the slaughtering [of the animal] (see Mishnah Menahot, Chapter 9, Mishnah 8 at the conclusion).
אבל לא עולות – outside of the daily whole-offerings and Musaf/additional offerings which are a community sacrifice at a fixed time. But one should not bring an individual whole burnt-offering which cannot be consumed by a commoner (i.e., non-Kohen). But even the burnt-offerings for appearing [during the Festival in the Temple]are offered on the other days of the Festival, but not on the Festival day/Yom Tov, for the All-Merciful stated (Numbers 29:35): “[On the eight day] you shall hold a solemn gathering,” for you, but not for Most-High.
וב"ה אומרים – one brings festival peace offerings and whole burnt offerings for appearance [in the Temple], as it is written (Deuteronomy 16:8): “[After eating unleavened bread for six days,] you shall hold a solemn gathering for the LORD] your God on the seventh day…,” everything is for God. But vows and free-will donations, according to everyone are not offered on the Festival, neither whole burnt-offerings or peace-offerings.
