Likewise, a person more readily forgets lessons taken up in old age. <b>Rabbi Yosei bar Yehudah of Kfar Habavli says: One who studies Torah from youths—to what may he be likened? To one who eats green grapes and drinks wine from its vat</b> ere it has matured, for he studies from a youth, whose intellect has not yet matured. <b>One who studies Torah from elders—to what may he be likened? To one who partakes of mature grapes and sips seasoned wine. Rabbi Meir,</b> however, <b>says: Do not</b> assess a wine (teacher) by <b>regarding its vessel</b> (physical age). <b>Rather,</b> assess it <b>by what</b> (knowledge) <b>resides within it;</b> one may find <b>a new vessel</b> (young teacher) <b>filled</b> with fine, <b>aged wine</b> (knowledge),² <b>and</b> one may find <b>an old</b> (teacher) <b>that holds nothing, not even new</b> wine (knowledge). כ e|li|SHA ben a|vu|YAH o|MER, ha|lo|MED to|RAH YE|led le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO k'tu|VAH al ne|YAR cha|DASH, ve|ha|lo|MED to|RAH za|KEN le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO k'tu|VAH al ne|YAR ma|CHUK. ra|BI yo|SEI bar ye|hu|DAH ish k'FAR ha|bav|LI o|MER, ha|lo|MED to|RAH min hak|ta|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le-o|CHEL a|na|VIM ke|HOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN mi|gi|TO, ve|ha|lo|MED to|RAH min haz|ke|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le-o|CHEL a|na|VIM b'shu|LOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN ya|SHAN. ra|BI me-IR o|MER: al tis|ta|KEL ba|kan|KAN, e|LA ba|MEH she|YESH bo, yesh kan|KAN cha|DASH ma|LEI ya|SHAN, ve|ya|SHAN she-a|fi|LU cha|DASH ein bo. כ ʾe|li|SHAʿ ben ʾa|vu|YAH ʾo|MER, hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH YE|ledh le|MAH huʾ do|MEH: lidh|YO ke|thu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ḥa|DHASH, ve|hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH za|QEN le|MAH huʾ do|MEH: lidh|YO ke|thu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ma|ḥUQ. rab|BI yo|SE bar ye|hu|DHAH ʾish ke|FAR hab|bav|LI ʾo|MER, hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH min haq|qe|ṭan|NIM, le|MAH huʾ do|MEH: le|ʾo|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM qe|HOTH ve|sho|THEH ya|YIN mig|git|TO, ve|hal|lo|MEDH to|RAH min haz|ze|qe|NIM, le|MAH huʾ do|MEH: le|ʾo|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM be|shu|LOTH ve|sho|THEH ya|YIN ya|SHAN. rab|BI me|ʾIR ʾo|MER: ʾal tis|tak|KEL baq|qan|QAN, ʾel|LAʾ bam|MEH shey|YESH bo, yesh qan|QAN ḥa|DHASH ma|LEʾ ya|SHAN, ve|ya|SHAN she|ʾa|fil|LU ḥa|DHASH ʾen bo. כ e|li|SHAʿ ben a|vu|YAH o|MER, hal|lo|MED to|RAH YE|led le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO ke|tu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ḥa|DASH, ve|hal|lo|MED to|RAH za|QEN le|MAH hu do|MEH: lid|YO ke|tu|VAH ʿal ne|YAR ma|ḥUQ. rab|BI yo|SE bar ye|hu|DAH ish ke|FAR hab|bav|LI o|MER, hal|lo|MED to|RAH min haq|qe|tan|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le|o|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM qe|HOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN mig|git|TO, ve|hal|lo|MED to|RAH min haz|ze|qe|NIM, le|MAH hu do|MEH: le|o|KHEL ʿa|na|VIM be|shu|LOT ve|sho|TEH ya|YIN ya|SHAN. rab|BI me|IR o|MER: al tis|tak|KEL baq|qan|QAN, el|LA bam|MEH shey|YESH bo, yesh qan|QAN ḥa|DASH ma|LE ya|SHAN, ve|ya|SHAN she|a|fil|LU ḥa|DASH en bo. כ e|li|SHO ben a|vu|YOH oy|MEIR, ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH YE|led l'MOH hu doy|MEH: lid|YOY k'su|VOH al n'YOR cho|DOSH, v'ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH zo|KEIN l'MOH hu doy|MEH: lid|YOY k'su|VOH al n'YOR mo|CHUK. ra|BI yoy|SEI bar y'hu|DOH ish k'FAR ha|bav|LI oy|MEIR, ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH min hak'|ta|NIM, l'MOH hu doy|MEH: l'oy|CHEIL a|no|VIM kei|HOYS v'shoy|SEH ya|YIN mi|gi|TOY, v'ha|loy|MEID toy|ROH min haz'|kei|NIM, l'MOH hu doy|MEH: l'oy|CHEIL a|no|VIM b'shu|LOYS v'shoy|SEH ya|YIN yo|SHON. ra|BI mei-IR oy|MEIR: al tis|ta|KEIL ba|kan|KAN, e|LO ba|MEH she|YEISH boy, yeish kan|KAN cho|DOSH mo|LEI yo|SHON, v'yo|SHON she-a|fi|LU cho|DOSH ein boy.
