 The page layout of the Kehati commentary mimics the layout found in Dr. Symcha Petrushka's Yiddish commentary of the Mishnayot (published in Montreal, 1946).Both Kehati and Petrushka were raised in Warsaw.Kehati's commentary was influenced by the clarity of the Meiri's Talmud commentary, as well as the modern approaches of Dr. Petrushka, Rabbi Zvi A. Yehuda, and Professor Hanoch Albeck whom he quotes in his commentary.
