KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT KOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHE'HOO BEN HAOLAM HABA


L'yilui Nishmat Avraham ben Ester & Israel ben Rivka.
From Rav Ovadya Yosef shlit’a Website:

1. “Rabbi Yehoshua tells us in Masechet Berachot (9b) that the correct time for the morning Keri’at Shema to be read is until the end of the third hour of the day. This means that from the beginning of the day, one must start counting three hours, and when these three hours elapse, the time for reciting Keri’at Shema has passed. This is because the Torah writes regarding the Mitzvah of Keri’at Shema, “And when you lay down and when you arise,” meaning that it must be read at the time people lay down to sleep at night and at the time that people arise from their beds in the morning. This time (in the morning) spans until the end of the third hour of the day.”

2. The three hours that we have mentioned are Halachic hours, meaning that the day, beginning from dawn and ending with the emergence of the stars (some say to calculate from sunrise to sunset), must be split into twelve equal parts, and every part shall be considered a Halachic hour. Thus, during the summer months when the days are longer, the Halachic hour will be longer as well; in the winter months when the days are shorter, the Halachic hour will subsequently shrink as well. These times are usually printed in calendars sold by G-d-fearing Jews in many Jewish communities around the world.”
