In the first mishna in Brachot, the mishna states that the first opportunity to recite the Shma is when...
The Cohanim get up in the morning
The Cohanim go to sleep at night
The Cohanim go in to eat their Terumah
This time is otherwise known as ...
Sunrise - עלות השחר
Nightfall - צאת הכוכבים
Mid-afternoon
There are three opinions as to when you have until to say the nighttime Kriat Shma
Till the end of the first watch (10 pm); Till Chatzot (Midnight); Till 2 am
Till Chatzot (Midnight); Till 2 am; Till 6 am
Till the end of the first watch (10 pm); Till Chatzot (Midnight); Till surnise (6 am)
Rabban Gamliel's sons came home and asked him if they could still say the Shma. He said they could as long as morning had not yet arrived. How did he defend going against the majority opinion of Chachamim, who said until Chatzot?
Even Chachamim would agree with me, because they were only speaking about Shabbat, where the time is until Chatzot
Even Chachamim would agree with me, because they were only speaking ideally, but if someone did not recite before Chatzot, they can recite until morning
I am a scholar in my own right, so I need not listen to Chachamim's view
The terms בשכבך ובקומך, according to Beit Shammai, means:
read the Shma at night and in the morning
read the Shma every Shabbat
lie down when saying the Shma at night, stand up for the morning Shma
Beit Hillel disagrees, and says that ...
you can say the Shma any way you want, even walking, as it says ובלכתך בדרך
you always have to lie down during the Shma
you always have to stand up during the Shma
The main theme of the third paragraph of the Shma is...
the exodus from Egypt
tzizit
The mitzvah of learning Torah
The mitzvah of giving Tzedaka
Even so, we recite the third paragraph at night because
we look at a Shma as a whole
we say it because of the mention of Yetziat Mizraim - the exodus from Egypt - which has to be recited day and night
we say it because of the mention of Tzizit because you can wear tzizit all day if you wish
None of the above
הָיָה קוֹרֵא בַתּוֹרָה, וְהִגִּיעַ זְמַן הַמִּקְרָא, אִם כִּוֵּן לִבּוֹ, יָצָא. וְאִם לָאו, לֹא יָצָא
From this mishna we learn that Shma is optional
From this mishna we learn that Shma needs proper intent
Both of the first two answers
None of the answers here
It says "Shma Yisrael". From this, one of the rabbis in the mishna says...
you have to hear what you are saying
you don't have to hear what you are saying
you could hear it if you want but not if you don't want to
What do all of the stories regarding Rabban Gamliel have in common?
They are all stories in which Rabban Gamliel strictly adheres to Jewish law
They all talk of Rabban Gamliel and his kids
They are all stories in which Rabban Gamliel seems to be be going against halachot that he once taught!
