T he measure of bread baskets [to lose their tumah] is [a hole the size of] loaves of bread. [Concerning] apifiyaros [baskets], [if] one made reeds for them from their bottom to the top for support, they are tahor. [If] one made a rim of any kind for it, it is [susceptible to becoming] tumah. R’ Shimon says: If it cannot be lifted up by its rim, it is not susceptible to tumah.
