		The Mishna in Rosh Hashanna proves the identity of the Shofar from the battle against Jericho.
		This is the essence of the chapter of Mishna that outlines the laws of Shofar.
		But the Mishna progresses further to a higher level; to the effect that the shofar sound has upon the listener and the degree to which the listener is connecting with the sound.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Talmud
		It is by no means improbable that the final reduction of the Mishna was preceded by previous written records, especially after Rabbi Agiba, at the beginning of the second century, had divested the study of the law of its previous Midrash character and had undertaken to arrange the materials systematically.
		The Mishna exists in three recensions: in the manuscripts of editions of the separate Mishna, in the Palestinian Talmud in which the commentaries of the Amora'im follow short passages of the Mishna, and in the Babylonian Talmud, in which the Gemara is appended to an entire chapter of the Mishna.
		On the basic of the Mishna, juridical discussions were continued, at first in the schools of Palestine, particularly at Tiberias, in the third and fourth centuries.

		Mishna 2: All kinds of shofar are valid [for Rosh Ha-shana] except that of a cow, because it is a "horn." R. Yossi said: But are not all shofarot referred to as a "horn," as it states: "When they sound a long blast with the ram's horn" (Joshua 6:5)?
		The analysis of the literary structure of the Mishna is a relatively new field, but it is one that I have been drawn to over the past year.
		The first mishna of the chapter deals with the ceremony of the sanctification of the new moon and is not relevant to the theme of shofar.

	Jewish History - The Mishna
		Derived from the Hebrew verb shanah, to learn or repeat, the Mishna is popularly known as the Second Law.
		Not the brazen serpent but the repentant heart cured afflicted Israel in the wilderness, the Mishna reminds us, pointing its moral with the quotation from the prophet Joel, "Rend your hearts, not your garments." To go beyond the Law in the keeping of one's word merits the highest praise.
		The acceptance of the Mishna as the Canon of Jewish Law curtailed—theoretically at least—the freedom of the rabbis who now followed, in the evolving of new Law.

		And the entire mishna is according to R. Yishmael [who holds that the return of a stolen item without the owner's knowledge nullifies the theft].
		And the second part of the mishna [that the custodian is responsible even if he returned it] is when he put it somewhere other than its designated place.
		And R. Yohanan [who, in the previous installment, did not accept the possibility that both mishnaic clauses were according to R. Yishmael, based his position on the mishna's phrase in the second clause] "he (he custodian) put it down" implies (that he returned it to) its designated place.

		When Jesus was condemned for breaking the Sabbath by healing the sick, or asking the healed man to take up his bed and walk, or when He and His disciples ate grain from the field on the Sabbath day, Christ had certainly violated the laws of the Jews as they were enunciated in human code.
		Mishna was used in replacing the Bible in matters of doctrine.
		Mishna is a codifying of rules, which were strongly used at the time of Jesus though not formalized until later.

		The Mishna is the earliest code of Jewish law, which was originally taught orally by the rabbis in the Holy Land during the approximately four centuries from the second century before the Common Era to the second century after the Common Era.
		The Mishna is composed of 6 Orders and represents an attempt by the rabbis to systematize the various laws included in the Torah into some sort of logical sequence.
		The Talmud, which follows the exact same structure as the Mishna, has a second considerably more voluminous layer, the Gemara, which is a record of the discussions of the rabbis about the Mishna that ensued over the next three or four hundred years after the redaction of the Mishna.

	S.C.J. FAQ: Section 3.10. Torah: What is the relationship between the Mishna and the Torah?
		The Mishna contains the detailed instructions necessary for following the rules that were merely outlined in the Torah.
		However, because the Mishna includes most the laws of the Torah--and presents additional information--one could say that for practical purposes the Torah is a subset of the Mishna.
		When one gets to the Talmud, one sees that the Mishna is a subset of the Talmud, as the Talmud includes practically all of the Mishna as well as additional information.

	The Mitzva of Charoset
		The Mishna (Pesachim 114a) presents a disagreement between the Sages and Rav Elazar ben Tzadok as to whether Charoset constitutes a Mitzva.
		In the Mishna Torah (Hilchot Chametz U'matza 7:11), however, the Rambam rules in accordance with the view of Rav Elazar ben Tzadok that there is a rabbinical obligation to have Charoset at the table.
		The Lechem Mishna writes that the Rambam must have changed his mind from the time he wrote the commentary to the Mishna to the time he wrote the Mishna Torah.

		However, after great debate, this restriction was lifted when it became apparent that it was the only way to insure that the law could be preserved.
		During this time period (around 200 CE) the Mishna, as such, was never published.
