Commento su Kelim 26:2
כִּיס שֶׁל שְׁנָצוֹת שֶׁנִּטְּלוּ שְׁנָצָיו, טָמֵא. נִפְשַׁט, טָהוֹר. טָלָה עָלָיו אֶת הַמַּטְלֵת מִלְּמַטָּן, טָמֵא. כִּיס לְתוֹךְ כִּיס, שֶׁנִּטְמָא אַחַד מֵהֶן בְּמַשְׁקֶה, לֹא נִטְמָא חֲבֵרוֹ. צְרוֹר הַמַּרְגָּלִית, טָמֵא. צְרוֹר הַמָּעוֹת, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִים:
Un marsupio con lacci i cui lacci sono stati rimossi è ancora [suscettibile di essere reso] impuro; se si è appiattito, è puro [insensibile all'impurità]. Se uno ha appeso un lembo dal basso [in modo tale che possa ancora trattenere qualcosa, anche se appiattito], è [suscettibile di essere reso] impuro. Per quanto riguarda un sacchetto all'interno di un sacchetto, se uno di essi è stato reso impuro da un liquido, l'altro non è reso impuro. Un bundle [di cuoio] per una gemma è [suscettibile di essere reso] impuro. Per quanto riguarda un pacchetto di denaro, il rabbino Eliezer lo considera [suscettibile di essere reso] impuro; e i saggi lo considerano puro [insettibile all'impurità].
Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
שניטלו שנציו (whose laces were removed) – to the Rabbis, we are speaking about that they were not removed completely, but rather that torn loose from the loops, and are still hanging in the bag. But according to Rabbi Yossi, even if they were removed completely, because a non-specialist is able to restore them.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A laced-up bag whose laces were removed is still susceptible to uncleanness; But if it was made flat it is pure. If the laces from a lace-bag are completely removed, it is still susceptible to impurity. It only becomes pure if it is flattened out such that it does not have a receptacle (see yesterday's mishnah).

נפשט(when it – the bag – is straightened out – so as to be a plain piece of leather) – the bag and it became like a kind of smooth piece of leather that has no receptacle, it is pure.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If a strip of cloth has been put on it below, it is susceptible. By taking a strip of cloth and sewing it below the lace-bag he changes the lace-bag into a regular pouch without laces. If he does so, it has a receptacle and it is susceptible to impurity.

טלה עליו את המטלת (if he underlined the bag with a patch on the bottom) – he placed a patch on its rim, that is to say, a small piece of leather that he attached to it from the bottom, for the it is the manner of bags to bring in a small piece of leather between the stitches and when he stretches it out, the the leather remains and it does not annul its receptacle.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If a bag was within another bag and one of them became unclean from a liquid, the other does not become unclean. In this case the rabbis were lenient because liquids defile vessels only "derabbanan" from rabbinic decree. According to Torah law, liquids cannot convey impurity to vessels. Therefore, if one bag was inside another bag and one bag came into contact with an unclean liquid, only that bag is defiled. The other bag remains pure.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
צרור המרגלית (a piece of leather in which jewels are bound up) – they place the pearl within the leather to be protected there and they tie it, and when they remove the pearl, the leather remains like a bag until one goes to the trouble and straightens it out [by stretching it] , on account of that pearl that stood for many days and was tied up.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A money pouch: Rabbi Eliezer says that it is susceptible to uncleanness, But the sages say that it is pure. Rabbi Eliezer says that a money pouch is susceptible in the same way that a pearl pouch is. Both have receptacles, and therefore both can become impure. The sages disagree. A money pouch is opened frequently and when it is opened it no longer has a receptacle. Since it is so frequently found in its "simple" state, without a receptacle, it is considered a "simple" vessel and is not susceptible.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
צרור המעות (a piece of leather in which money is bound up) – like the piece of leather in which jewels are bound up. And the reason that the piece of leather in jewels is bound up defiles more, because it is the manner of the piece of leather in which jewels are bound up to stand more than the piece of leather in which money is bound up, for the piece of leather in which money is bound up is loosened all the time, because it was given for spending. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
