MISHNA STUDY
Deuteronomy6:4 Listen, Israel, God is our Lord, God is One.6:5 Love God your Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.6:6 These words which I am commanding you today must remain on your heart.6:7 Teach them to your children and speak of them when you are at home, when traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up.6:8 Bind [these words] as a sign on your hand, and let them be an emblem in the center of your head.6:9 [Also] write them on the doorposts of your houses and gates.
Mishnah Berachot 1.1From what time may one recite the Shema in the evening?1) From the time that the priests enter [their houses] in order to eat their terumah until the end of the first watch, the words of Rabbi Eliezer.2) The sages say: until midnight.3) Rabban Gamaliel says: until dawn. 4) Once it happened that his sons came home [late] from a wedding feast and they said to him: we have not yet recited the [evening] Shema. He said to them: if it is not yet dawn you are still obligated to recite.5) And not in respect to this alone did they so decide, but wherever the sages say “until midnight,” the mitzvah may be performed until dawn.a) The burning of the fat and the pieces may be performed till dawn. b) Similarly, all [the offerings] that are to be eaten within one day may be eaten till dawn.c) Why then did the sages say “until midnight”? In order to keep a man far from transgression.
