Would like to start learning mishnayos tahoros with kehati and bartenura, probably at a rate of 2 mishnayos a day. However I've never learned the seder formally so don't know where to start.

I know kelim is probably the logical starting point, but I think it would be tough to gain momentum through the 30 perakim, so I would rather start with something more manageable, like mikvaos or yadayim.

Is there a good starting point that someone could recommend?

Thanks

    The first chapter of keilim is totally unrelated to the next 29. It's just an intro to the whole Seder – Double AA May 28 '20 at 20:51
  • You will need a picture book. There are a few about one made by Posen of London which is diagrams another called maros chaim. which is pictures. The siyata dishmayo mishnayos also has. – interested May 30 '20 at 23:26

    Might actually be better, rather than jumping into the mishnayos themselves, to start with something like the Rambam's introduction to Seder Taharos (or the Bartenura's, which is a digest of it), or perhaps the Tiferes Yisroel's. All of them are printed at the beginning of the Yachin U'Boaz / Zecher Chanoch Seder Taharos. – Meir May 31 '20 at 20:59
  • If you are specifically looking to do two mishnayot per day, you might consider the Mishna Yomit (which is really 2 mishnayot daily) shiurim, such as from OU Torah https://www.ou.org/torah/gemara-series/mishna-yomit Whichever tractate you start with, having someone give a breif shiur can often be helpful. There are a variety of teachers there, so I assume some will be more to your taste than others. – Ze'ev misses Monica Jun 01 '20 at 15:59

My Uncle - a world sought-after Taharos posek - recommended that I start with Mesechta Taharos.
