Why did not the age of desolation end and the age of Torah begin when Avraham was three in the year 1951? Why do Chazal say that the age of Torah begins in 2000? After all, Avraham began spreading Torah at the age of three in 1951? It is only after Avraham was Moser Nefesh - ready to give up his life - for Torah and Hashem, that the age of Torah began. True dedication to Hashem and Torah is only if one is ready to be Moser Nefesh for it. (Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar)
