**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בשלשה פרקים בשנה וכו' – This is how it should be read: On three periods of time during the year, which are fast days, posts (i.e., divisions of popular representatives of Levites and Israelites deputized to accompany the daily services in the Temple with prayers) and Yom Kippur, that we offer up after this, Kohanim lift their hands [to bless the congregation] in each Amidah, that is, during Shaharit, Minhah and Neilah. And there is one day in each of these periods where they lift their hands four times during the day, and that is Yom Kippur, which has the Musaf prayer. And Our Mishnah is according to Rabbi Meir, who said that there is the lifting of the hands [of the Kohanim] at Minhah on fast days and posts, and every day, what is the reason why they don’t lift their hands at Minhah – because of being drunk, and today, there is no drunkenness. But Rabbi Yosi disputes this and says that we decree that Minhah of fast days is like the Minhah service of every day. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yosi on fast days, and on “posts” and on Yom Kippur which has the Neilah prayer, but on those fast days where we do not recite Neilah, Kohanim lift their hands at Minhah of the fast day, since it is near the setting of the sun we recite this prayer – as it is similar to Neilah, and a Minhah like this, we don’t have on every day. Therefore, they did not make decree to do this.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אלו הן מעמדות – What is the reason that it is said? What is the reason that they decreed the posts? Since it is stated (Numbers 28:2): “Command the Israelite people and say to them: Be punctilious in presenting to Me at stated times [the offerings of food due Me, as offerings by fire of pleasing odor to Me].”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
על כל משמר ומשמר היה מעמד – from part of the tribes of Israel who were divided into twenty-four sections, messengers from all Israel to stand over the sacrifices with the Kohanim and Levites of each division of Kohanim (i.e., guard).

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וישראל שבאותו משמר מתכנסין לעריהם – Those who were far from Jerusalem and were not able to go up and stand over their sacrifice with their division, we gather in the synagogues in their cities and fast and pray and read from the Torah each day the Creation Story (i.e. Genesis, chapter 1), to announce that the world stands on the Divine Service that they do in the Temple.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ולא היו מתענין בע"ש מפני כבוד השבת – and one does not have to mention the Sabbath itself. And not on Sundays, because it is the third day [from] the creation [of mankind], since on Friday, man was created. And on the third day of his creation, he was weaker, as it is written (Genesis 34:25): “On the third day, when they were in pain…” Alternatively, because man was given the additional soul on the Sabbath and on Saturday night it w as taken from him, if they would fast on Sunday, they would be endangered. S And on each day, the men of the post would recite the Neilah prayer.

**פָּרָשָׁה גְדוֹלָה קוֹרִין אוֹתָהּ בִּשְׁנַיִם.** בְּפָרָשַׁת בְּרֵאשִׁית, לְאַחַר שֶׁקָּרָא הָרִאשׁוֹן שְׁלֹשָׁה פְסוּקִים חוֹזֵר הַשֵּׁנִי וְקוֹרֵא פָּסוּק שְׁלִישִׁי שֶׁקָּרָא הָרִאשׁוֹן וּמַשְׁלִים פָּרָשַׁת בְּרֵאשִׁית, וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי קוֹרֵא יְהִי רָקִיעַ. בַּשֵּׁנִי רִאשׁוֹן קוֹרֵא יְהִי רָקִיעַ, וּשְׁנַיִם קוֹרְאִים יִקָּווּ הַמַּיִם, וְכֵן כֻּלָּם:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
פרשה גדולה קורין אותה בשנים – The portion of Genesis (i.e., the Creation story), after the first person read three verses, the second person would read the third verse that the first person read and complete the [first part] of the Creation [story]. And the third person would read (Genesis 1:6): “Let there be an expanse [in the midst of the water, that is separate water from water].” On the second day, the first person reads “let there be an expanse” (Genesis 1:6), and two read (Genesis 1:9), “Let the water below the sky be gathered into one area,[that the dry land may appear],” and so too for all of them.

**בַּשַּׁחֲרִית וּבַמּוּסָף כוּ'.** הָכָא מַיְרֵי בְּכָל שְׁאָר מַעֲמָדוֹת שֶׁהָיוּ חוּץ לִירוּשָׁלַיִם, שֶׁהֵן הָיוּ קוֹרְאִין בְּמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית כְּמִשְׁפָּטָן אֲפִלּוּ בְּיוֹם שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ קָרְבַּן מוּסָף, דְּהָא אִינְהוּ לֹא טְרִידֵי. אֲבָל הַמַּעֲמָדוֹת שֶׁבִּירוּשָׁלַיִם, בְּיוֹם שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ קָרְבַּן מוּסָף לֹא הָיוּ קוֹרִין בַּמּוּסָף בְּמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית, כְּדִתְנַן לְקַמָּן קָרְבַּן מוּסָף אֵין בּוֹ בַמִּנְחָה, וְהַשְׁתָּא קָרְבַּן מוּסָף מַעֲמָד דְּמִנְחָה דְּלָאו דִּידֵיהּ דָּחֵי, מַעֲמָד דִּידֵיהּ לֹא כָל שֶׁכֵּן.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בשחרית ובמוסף כו' – Here we are speaking about the rest of the posts that were outside of Jerusalem when they read the Creation story according to the appropriate manner, even on a day when there is a Musaf sacrifice, for we don’t want to trouble them. But the posts in Jerusalem, on a day where there is Musaf sacrifice, they would not recite during Musaf the Creation story as is taught in the Mishnah further on – a Musaf Sacrifice which lacks a Minhah service. And now, the Musaf sacrifice which does supersede the Minhah post which is not his, his post, all the more so.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בשחרית ובמוסף ובמנחה כו' – This is how it should be read: At Shaharit and at Musaf when we bring a Torah scroll and read a large portion by two and a small portion with one. But at Minhah, we do not bring a Torah scroll , because of the trouble of the fast, but we recite it by heart.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ע"ש במנחה לא היו נכנסים – [they would not enter] the synagogue and would not read [Torah] at all, since they would be troubled to prepare the needs of the Sabbath.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
יום שיש בו הלל – like the days of Hanukkah which have Hallel (Psalms 113-118) recited on them but they don’t have Musaf. No portion was read during Shaharit if they were in Jerusalem, since they don’t have free time to do their posts (through the division of popular representatives deputized to accompany the daily services in the Temple with prayers, and also a corresponding division in the country towns, answering to the divisions of Kohanim and Levites), since [the recitation of] Hallel supersedes them.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
קרבן מוסף – Rosh Hodesh which has a Musaf sacrifice, they would not read any portion at the closing of the gates (“Neilah”), and all the more so, they would not read a portion during Musaf itself, nor at the Afternoon service which precedes Neilah, for the Musaf sacrifice would supersede them.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
קרבן עצים אין בו מנחה – that is to say, a day on which there is a sacrifice of wood, as is found above, there would be no Musaf sacrifice, which supersedes the Ma’amad (i.e., the post) for the Afternoon service, but does not [supersede] the Neilah.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
כך היה ר' יהושע שונה – The wood offering/sacrifice supersets the post of Neilah, and all the more so, it supersedes the post of the Afternoon service, as the sacrifice of the wood of the Kohanim would be offered prior to the daily continuous offering at the eventide (i.e., 3:30 pm), and if it supersedes the post of Neilah, it also supersedes the post of the Afternoon service which is near it.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
חזר ר"ע להיות שונה כדברי בן עזאי – Who thinks that the Musaf sacrifice comes from the Torah and this law is not superseded other than the post for the Afternoon service, for one should not suspect lest a sacrifice is superseded, for the words of the Torah do not require strengthening. But the sacrifice/offering of the wood, is considered like the words of the Sages, and the law is that they supersede the post of the Afternoon Service and Neilah which require strengthening, for just as they are not superseded for the sacrifice of the wood. And I did not go down to the end of the words of Maimonides, in his commentary of this Mishnah, since from his words, it appears that the men of the post would recite an additional prayer each day between Shaharit and Minhah and it is called the Musaf prayer. And this fact I did not find either in the Babylonian or the Jerusalem Talmud.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ובני גונבי עלי – The Gemara explains that once the enemies decreed religious persecution on Israel that they should not bring their First Fruits to the Temple and placed guards along the roads for this. But honest men of that generation brought baskets of First Fruits and covered them with packed figs, which are dried figs and carried them on the shoulders pestle, which is a large tree made like a club that would crush the grit (i.e., a dish of pounded grain) with which they would regularly crush the packed figs to make of them cakes of pressed figs , and when they would approach the guard, would say to them: We are going to make two cakes of pressed figs in the mortar before us with this pestle that is on our shoulders, and this is how they would bring First Fruits to Jerusalem. And because of this, they were called, “those who steal pestles,” that is to say, they steal the hearts of the guards, with the pestle that is on their shoulders, and “those who pack figs” by dint of the fact that they cut fig cakes with tools (i.e. a knife or saw), and these honest men stood another time when they (the government) decreed religious persecution against them that they should not bring wood to the pile of wood on the altar in the Temple, and established ladders and would say to the guards – to take two pigeons from this dovecote that is before us on this ladder that is on our shoulders which we are walking with, and as a result of this, they are called, “the ladder carriers that are torn down” (?) for they would bring from them wood for the pile of wood on the altar in the Temple , and all of these bring wood with the children of Zatu.

שהיה בו הלל – Because on the first of Tevet, Hanukkah always occurs, and on Hanukkah, we recite the complete Hallel, but regarding the Hallel of Rosh Hodesh, where the recitation of Hallel is only a custom, it does supersede the post. And for this reason, Rosh Hodesh Nisan is not considered, which also has Hallel and the Musaf sacrifice and the wood sacrirfice.
