hello my friends uh good narrow Shabbos happy Friday followed by a beautiful uplifting and inspirational Shabbos kodesh this week's Parsha parshas talks about how yaakov running away from his brother asov is running to his uncle lovan but he's not going to too much of a better place because lemon is known to be a swindler and a liar and a cheat be a swindler and a liar and a cheat he's having a tough but then he lays down at what was really the future Temple mount and he has a dream that is actually a form of Prophecy and he sees this beautiful ladder going from the earth up into the heavens but what it says at the beginning before he fell asleep is the part I want to focus on because it says and he met up to the place and he met up to the place the Yellen Shum and he stayed over hashemish because the sun had set what does that mean he met up at the place so the talmud teaches us it's a term of Prayer he went to pray there shemish why did he want to pray there because the son had said yaakov wanted to pray specifically at night night Talma teaches us that avraham Jacob's grandfather tikane chakras set up the morning prayers yitzclock yakum's father tikane he set up the afternoon prayer and yaakov tiken Arvis yaakov set up the evening prayer so one of my rabbis one time asked a great question
