חייבין להביא לאחר יוה״כ. דאמר קרא (ויקרא ט״ז:ל׳) מכל חטאתיכם לפני ה׳ תטהרו, חטא שאין מכיר בו אלא המקום דהיינו שלא נודע לו שחטא, יוה״כ מכפר. אבל חטא דאיכא דידע ביה חוץ מן המקום, אין יוה״כ מכפר:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Kerisos Perek 6 Mishnah 5
כריתות פרק ו׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
חטאת העוף ספק – as for example, when she gave birth, and we don’t know if it is from a liable species [or] from an exempt species.
מפני שמכשירתה לאכול בזבחים – since lacking atonement is from a doubt, and she cannot eat Holy Things until she brings her atonement.
משנמלקה נודע לה – that she did not give birth.
הרי זו תקבר – by law that she is permitted to benefit, for it is completely unconsecrated, for because it was slaughtered in the Temple courtyard, one cannot prohibit it, for the Torah only prohibited ritual slaughter, but not the pinching of the neck [of the bird] with one’s fingernail. But the Rabbis decreed that she is prohibited to derive benefit, lest they say that we benefit from the sin offering of a fowl from doubt. But the sin-offering of a fowl that is brought on the doubt is not consumed, lest it is Holy and Holy Things that are not consumed are prohibited to derive benefit.
חטאת העוף ספק. כגון שילדה ואין יודעים אם מין חיוב אם מין פטור:
מפני שמכשירתה לאכול בזבחים. דמחוסרת כפרה היא מספק, ואינה יכולה לאכול בקדשים עד שתביא כפרתה:
משנמלקה נודע לה. שלא ילדה:
הרי זו תקבר. בדין הוא דמותרת בהנאה, דחולין גמורים היא, דמשום שנשחטה בעזרה ליכא למיסר, דלא אסרה תורה אלא שחיטה, אבל מליקה לא. אבל רבנן גזרו דאסורה בהנאה שמא יאמרו נהנין מחטאת העוף ספק. וחטאת העוף הבאה על הספק אינה נאכלת, דשמא חולין היא ונבילה היא, דמליקה נבילה בחולין. ואסורה נמי בהנאה, דשמא קודש היא וקודש שאינו נאכל אסור בהנאה:

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.

חייבין להביא לאחר יוה"כ – that Scripture states (Leviticus 16:30): “from all of your sins, you shall be pure before the LORD,” a sin that he doesn’t know about it other than God, meaning that he didn’t become aware that he had sinned, Yom Kippur atones, but a sin where there is an awareness of it except from God, Yom Kippur does not atone.
