Gemara said that when Avraham Avinu davened, so it was when he davened the Mincha davenen, it's called תפלת אברהם, I know why it's called תפלת אברהם, מנחה, okay, so Lichora, I mean Mincha is by Yitzchak. We mean the davenen of the Avos, they call Avraham because he's the first of the Avos. But anyway, what he said was that he davened as soon as was אחרי חצות, cause then they could see right away the shade, the shadow, the shade on the other side of the wall already. But we can't learn from there. So, different reasons, one reason the Gemara said was that Avraham was greater, Avraham knew exactly, דאצטגנינות גדולה הוה ביה, and he knew exactly the stars, he knew to the second. אי נמי, another reason why Avraham is different, maybe we can't learn from him, that's where we're holding, the first line, the wide lines, משום דזקן ויושב בישיבה הוה. Avraham was a talmid chacham. He learned in yeshiva. ואמר רב חמא ברבי חנינא, מימיהם של אבותינו לא פסקה ישיבה מהם. For all the years of the Avos, they never stopped a yeshiva, they always had a yeshiva. הא? They had to be their own yeshiva? Yeah, they had a yeshiva. Yeah. They were roshei yeshiva. הא? Avraham didn't learn by Shem v'Ever? He only Well first, but that that's before, but then later. But here, when it says here, it means he learned before and then he also had a yeshiva. היו במצרים, ישיבה עמהם. They were in

When they were in the midbar, they had a ישיבה, שנאמר, אספה לי שבעים איש מזקני ישראל. Gather me 70 people from the זקנים. אברהם אבינו זקן ויושב בישיבה הוה. Avraham was a זקן, learned in yeshivah, שנאמר, ואברהם זקן בא בימים. זקן is So why is it called אלפיים של תוהו? הא? If they had If they had Torah, Torah wasn't given yet. So what is the So what is the ma'alah of Torah? It wasn't given yet, it was before אצלנו, it's not. It says they learned Torah, they did the mitzvot. אצלנו, it's not. Ah, you could ask by the year 2,000 what happened? What happened in the year 2,000? In the year 2,000, Avraham Avinu was born 1948. There was no Torah then. He was born 1948? 1948, yeah. Oh yeah. I look at the different, Avraham Avinu was born the yidishe 1948, you're born the goyishe 1948, okay. A shtikel, a shtikel difference. So al kol panim, so the year 2,000, what happened then?
