Daf 3
1. Three Heavenly Watches
Rabbi Eliezer identifies the end time for Krias Shema as the end of the first mishmar (watch), to teach us
that there are three heavenly watches in the evening when Hashem roars like a lion, lamenting that the
sins of His children caused the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash and their exile.
2. Entering a Ruin
Three reasons one may not enter a churvah (ruin):
a. suspicion of inappropriate behavior
b. the danger of collapse
c. the danger of harmful mazikin found there
3. Dovid HaMelech’s Harp
The northern wind would blow across Dovid Hamelech’s harp exactly at midnight, upon which he would
wake up and sing Hashem’s praises for the rest of the night.
Siman - Camel
Three watchmen on camels enter a dangerous ruin when they hear music and discover a man playing harp.
