We had occasion in thinking about the Rambam in Perek Aleph Hilchos Tefillah to revisit the Sugya in Brachos about Tefillos Avos Tiknum and תפילות כנגד תמידים תקנום. So just perhaps for today, just to briefly add one addendum to what we discussed then. If you have a chance, maybe afterwards, take a look and just to see the point that emerges. So the Gemara begins that Itmar, quoting the Amora'im, Rabbi Yose bar Chanina אומר תפילות אבות תקנום, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi אומר תפילות כנגד תמידים תקנום. Then the Gemara says there's a braisa that supports each opinion. תניא כוותיה דרבי יוסי בר חנינא and תניא כוותיה דרבי יהושע בן לוי, and then the Gemara proceeds to quote the two braisos. Okay, pretty straightforward. Rashi comments on dibur hamaschil Avos Tiknum, meaning when Rabbi Yose bar Chanina says Tefillos Avos Tiknum, Rashi says כדתני בברייתא לקמן, as the braisa which the Gemara imminently is going to quote teaches. Rashi doesn't say that for Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi. When Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi says תפילות כנגד תמידים תקנום and he's also going to benefit from the support, from the corroboration of a braisa, Rashi doesn't say כדתני בברייתא לקמן. Doesn't make that comment. The question is more why Rashi felt a need to say it in Rabbi Yose bar Chanina's. So we'll see in thirty seconds, we'll see that the Gemara has a braisa. Rashi always will tell you, Gemara meforesh, meaning when the Mishnah is, ich veiss, hard or impossible to understand, so Rashi will say no, don't break your head on it now, the Gemara's going to explain it. So lich'ora it's so amazingly meduyak. What did we see in the Rambam in Hilchos Melachim that תפילות כנגד תמידים תקנום means that Chazal instituted, ordained, were mechayev us to daven, what the lashon takana means. What do we see Tefillos Keneged, that Avos Tiknum meant? We said again, that Chazal that the Avos couldn't have been mechayev in the Tefillos because at that point it was still the Tefillah d'Oraisa, so you couldn't be koveia hazman. So Rashi, hafla vafele, Rashi says Avos Tiknum, don't think you know what pshat in the word Tiknum in Tefillos Avos Tiknum means, it's כדתני בברייתא לקמן. What does the word Tiknum mean in the context of Tefillos Avos Tiknum? You'll understand that in light of the braisa. What does the braisa say? The braisa says: תניא כוותיה דרבי יוסי בר חנינא, אברהם תיקן תפילת שחרית,
shene'emar: וישכם אברהם בבוקר אל המקום אשר עמד שם, ואין עמידה אלא תפילה,
shene'emar: Vaya'amod Pinchas vayifallel. So where does it say that Avraham Avinu was mechayev anyone else to daven? Where does it say that Avraham Avinu issued a kol korei, that mikan va'eilach everyone's mechuyav to daven Shacharis? He didn't. אברהם תיקן תפילת שחרית means he taught the world that Shacharis is a zman Tefillah. It doesn't mean that he was mesaken in the sense that he was mechayev. Similarly with Yitzchak: ויצא יצחק לשוח בשדה, ואין שיחה אלא תפילה, shene'emar: תפילה לעני כי יעטוף ולפני השם ישפוך שיחו. Where does it say that Yitzchak was mesaken in a sense of mechayev? He wasn't. He taught the world that chama dema'arava, that the afternoon is a zman Tefillah. So says Rashi, so: Avos Tiknum, if you want to know what the word Tiknum means in the context of this phrase, כדתני בברייתא לקמן. By תפילות כנגד תמידים תקנום, Rashi doesn't need to say anything because there Tiknum means what we think it means. It taka means that Chazal, the Anshei Knesses HaGedolah, were mesaken. What's a takana mean? A takana means when they tell you to do something. That's what takana means. But Tefillos Avos Tiknum doesn't mean that. Says Rashi, כדתני בברייתא לקמן, exactly the way we reconstructed it from the Rambam.
