Q. Dear Rabbi: Since Noach was born in year 1056 and was Niftar on 2006, while Avraham Avinu was alive from 1948 until 2123, they were together for almost sixty years. How come there is no mention whatsoever that Avraham Avinu visited or met with Noach?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that after the Ma’abul, when Noach became an ‘Ish Ha’adamah,’ an earthly man and drank wine, even though Noach saved humanity and we all owe our lives to him, still there was not likely any great common ground between them.
Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a added that since Noach lived in Eretz Yisroel and Avraham Avinu had not arrived there yet, it was unlikely that he would have traveled from Ur Casdim earlier.
