A chick that has just come out of its shell

A chick that has just come out of its shell

By analogy: A young, inexperienced person. Someone who has only just begun to gain experience and whose knowledge is still limited.

("A chick that comes out of its shell on a festival is forbidden due to the laws of muktzeh, for no one had it in mind from before the festival" – Beit HaBechirah to Meiri, Tractate Beitzah 6a; and similarly: "And this time God granted me a new creature, a young lawyer, a chick that has just come out of its shell, meaning, he has just completed his legal studies and peeked into the world" – Shalom Aleichem / From the Army Exam, Kaze)

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: צָעִיר חֲסַר נִסָּיוֹן. אָדָם שֶׁרַק הֵחֵל לִצְבֹּר נִסָּיוֹן וַעֲדַיִן יְדִיעוֹתָיו מוּעָטוֹת.

("אֶפְרוֹחַ שֶׁיָּצָא מִקְּלִפָּתוֹ ביו"ט אָסוּר מִתּוֹרַת מֻקְצֶה שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא הָיָה דַּעְתּוֹ עָלָיו מֵעֶרֶב יו"ט"- בֵּית הַבְּחִירָה לִמְאִירִי מַסֶּכֶת בֵּיצָה ו ע"א, וְכֵן:"וְהַפַּעַם זִמֵּן לִי הקב"ה בְּרִיָּה חֲדָשָׁה, עוֹרֵךְ דִּין צָעִיר, אֶפְרוֹחַ שֶׁיָּצָא זֶה עַתָּה מִקְּלִפָּתוֹ, כְּלוֹמַר, זֶה עַתָּה גָּמַר אֶת חֹק לִמּוּדוֹ בְּמִשְׁפָּטִים וְהֵצִיץ לָאֲוִיר הָעוֹלָם"-שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם/ מִמִּבְחַן הַצָּבָא, קָצֶה)
