עדיות פרק ג׳ משנה ד׳
All mats are [liable to become] impure by “corpse” impurity, the words of Rabbi Dosa. But the Sages say: “[Also by] “midras” impurity. All network is unsusceptible to impurity except a [network] girdle, the words of Rabbi Dosa. But the Sages say: “They are all liable to uncleanness, except those used by wool dealers [for carrying raw wool].”
כָּל הַחוֹצָלוֹת טְמֵאוֹת טְמֵא מֵת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, מִדְרָס. כָּל הַקְּלִיעוֹת טְהוֹרוֹת, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל גַּלְגִּילוֹן, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי דוֹסָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כֻּלָּם טְמֵאוֹת, חוּץ מִשֶּׁל צַמָּרִים:

חוצלות. מחצלאות עשויות מגמי וכיוצא בו, ויש להם שפה סביב:
טמאות טמא מת. שהרי יש להן בית קבול. אבל לא טומאת משכב ומושב, לפי שאין ראויות לשכיבה ולא לישיבה:
וחכמים אומרים מדרס. דחזו נמי לשכיבה:
הקליעות. חוטין מעשה עבות:
טהורות. שאינן חשובות אריג ואין זה בגד:
חוץ משל גלגילון. הקליעות של אבנט שחוגרים בו, שבגד הוא חשוב:
כולם טמאות. דכולם חשובים בגד, חוץ מן הקליעה שעושים מוכרי הצמר לקשור בה אגודות של צמר:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Eduyos Perek 3 Mishnah 5
עדיות פרק ג׳ משנה ה׳
A sling whose pocket is woven is susceptible to impurity. If it is of leather, Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas pronounces it not susceptible to impurity, and the Sages pronounce it susceptible to impurity. If its finger-hold is broken off, it is not susceptible to impurity; [But if the] string-handle [only] is broken off it is susceptible to impurity.
הַקֶּלַע שֶׁבֵּית קִבּוּל שֶׁלָּהּ אָרוּג, טְמֵאָה. וְשֶׁל עוֹר, רַבִּי דוֹסָא בֶּן הַרְכִּינָס מְטַהֵר וַחֲכָמִים מְטַמְּאִין. נִפְסַק בֵּית אֶצְבַּע שֶׁלָּהּ, טְהוֹרָה. בֵּית הַפָּקִיעַ שֶׁלָּהּ, טְמֵאָה:
Bartenura
קלע – [the sling] that they throw with it stones, like you say (Judges 20:16): “ [Of all this force- 700 picked men -were left handed.] Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.” (1 Samuel 25:29): ”But he will fling away the lives of your enemies as from the hollow of a sling.”
בית קיבול שלה – the place where they put in the stone that they want to throw.
בית אצבע שלה – like a small hole that one puts one’s finger into.
בית הפקיע – the handle that one holds on to when one twirls the sling in the air to release and throw the stone.
קלע. שזורקים בו האבנים. כמה דאת אמר (שופטים כ׳:ט״ז) קולע באבן. (שמואל א כ״ה:כ״ט) יקלענה בתוך כף הקלע:
בית קיבול שלה. המקום שמשימין בו האבן שרוצים להשליך:
בית אצבע שלה. כמין נקב קטן שמכניסין בו האצבע:
בית הפקיע. הבית יד שאוחז בו כשמסבב הקלע באויר ורוצה להפקיע ולהשליך האבן:

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.
