#The Gemara relates, that there is a halachic period of time during twilight called "bein hashmashot." This period of time is, halachically, a mix of day and night. Before that time is considered day and after which it is considered night.<ref>Gemara Shabbat 34b. There is a dispute there between Rabbi Yehuda Rabbi Nechemia and Rabbi Yosi. Rabbi Yehuda says that ''bein hasmashot'' begins when the sun (''lit.)'' sinks and lasts until the upper part of the eastern sky is dark. Rabbi Nechemia says that ''bein hashmashot'' starts when the sun sinks and lasts for the duration of 0.5 ''mil.'' Rabbi Yosi says that ''bein hasmashot'' lasts for "a blink of an eye". Gemara Shabbat 35b quotes Rav Yehuda in the name of Shmuel that when there is one star it is still day, two stars is ''bein hashmashot'', three stars is night. Gemara Shabbat 35a writes that the halacha is in accordance with both Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Yosi. Rif Shabbat Chap.2, Rosh Shabbat Chap 2:23, and others maintain that the halacha follows Shmuel as well. | |||
*These are the bases for the discussion amongst the ''poskim'' as to the time of ''bein hashmashot''. To see how this translates into the common halacha and for a full discussion see Hazmanim B'halacha Chap. 40 </ref> | |||
#There is a great dispute regarding the time for ''bein hashmashot'' and the time for ''tzet hakochavim'' which has many ramifications in halacha. The ''geonim'' write that ''bein hashmashot'' begins at sunset and lasts for 0.75 ''mil'' at which time it is ''tzet hakochavim.''<ref>Ginzei Kedem V pg.37, See Teshuvat Maharam Alshakar 96 quoting Teshuvat Rav Sherira Goan and Rav Hai Goan. | #There is a great dispute regarding the time for ''bein hashmashot'' and the time for ''tzet hakochavim'' which has many ramifications in halacha.
