| Jun 1, 2020 at 16:15 | comment | added | Ze'ev | @DoubleAA Years ago in comparing Kehati & Yad Avraham (the newer Artscroll didn't exist yet), my chavruta and I found we far preferred Yad Avraham to Kehati. As kouty notes, Kehati sometimes leaves out important information. As an example, my chavruta noted in a mishna discussing bones that are most of a person but still less than a kezayit, Kehati never says how this is possible, but YA says it is from a neonate or even a fetus. | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 12:24 | comment | added | mbloch | @DoubleAA not as much - and I do not know if it is available in English. I have it in Hebrew, and it is much more concise, but I haven't studied it thoroughly | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 12:22 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | +1 I know the question didn't ask for it, but do you by any chance have any experience with the Kehati commentary and how it compares to each of these two? Just to make this answer fully comprehensive regarding modern Mishna editions. | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 11:08 | comment | added | mbloch | @ShimonbM I just checked and they are all in impeccable shape. Since there is a booklet per masechet, each of them is quite small and therefore there is less pressure on the spine | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 9:28 | comment | added | Shimon bM | Wonderful answer - thank you so much. Did you find that the pages continued to hold together nicely after so much use? (Often small, pocket-sized, soft-cover books fall apart in my experience.) It looks like Yad Avraham might be what I'm looking for: first time I finished the Mishna it was with Kehati, but I need something that helps me go deeper (and improves my chazorah). I think this might be it! | |
