    The document discusses the different opinions on the latest time one can recite the Shema prayer in the evening. R. Eliezer says until the time the priests enter their houses to eat, the Sages say until midnight, and R. Gamaliel says until dawn. The story is told of R. Gamaliel telling his sons that they could still recite Shema since dawn had not come. All precepts that must be done by midnight according to the Sages can actually be done until dawn to avoid transgression. The Sages said midnight to keep people extra far from transgressing the deadline.

    Talmud - Mas. Berachoth 2a CHAPTERI MISHNAH. FROM WHAT TIME MAY ONE RECITE THE SHEMA IN THE EVENING?

    FROM THE TIME THAT THE PRIESTS ENTER [THEIR HOUSES] IN ORDER TO EAT THEIR TERUMAH1 UNTIL THE END OF THE FIRST WATCH.2 THESE ARE THE WORDS OF R. ELIEZER. THE SAGES SAY: UNTIL MIDNIGHT. R. GAMALIEL SAYS: UNTIL THE DAWN COMES UP.3 ONCE IT HAPPENED THAT HIS4 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 THE DAWN HAS NOT YET COME UP YOU ARE STILL BOUND TO RECITE. AND NOT IN RESPECT TO THIS ALONE DID THEY SO DECIDE, BUT WHEREVER THE SAGES SAY UNTIL MIDNIGHT, THE PRECEPT MAY BE PERFORMED UNTIL THE DAWN COMES UP. THE PRECEPT OF BURNING THE FAT AND THE [SACRIFICIAL] PIECES, TOO, MAY BE PERFORMED TILL THE DAWN COMES UP.5 SIMILARLY, ALL [THE OFFERINGS] THAT ARE TO BE EATEN WITHIN ONE DAY MAY LAWFULLY BE CONSUMED TILL THE COMING UP OF THE DAWN. WHY THEN DID THE SAGES SAY UNTIL MIDNIGHT? IN ORDER TO KEEP A MAN FAR FROM TRANSGRESSION.
