The generation is going and diminishing

The generation is going and diminishing

The spiritual or moral level of the generation gradually declines. Or: The great men of the generation are passing away.

("Although there is a prohibition of the ancients that one should not rely on the remedies of the Talmud, so as not to dare to criticize the ancient sages, and they do not know that there are changes in places, and in times, that generations are small and pass away, and if the first are like giants, we will be able to understand, even what they warned about from the sight of spirits, all of which are not valid. "The Idna (Not Found Today)" - The Day of Solomon, Masechet Hulin, Chapter 8)

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהַדְרָגָה יוֹרֶדֶת רָמָתוֹ הָרוּחָנִית אוֹ הַמּוּסָרִית שֶׁל הַדּוֹר. אוֹ: אַט אַט הוֹלְכִים לְעוֹלָמָם גְּדוֹלֵי הַדּוֹר.

("אע"פ שֶׁיֵּשׁ חֵרֶם הַקַּדְמוֹנִים שֶׁאֵין לִסְמֹךְ עַל רְפוּאוֹת הַתַּלְמוּד, כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא לְהוֹצִיא לַעַז עַל חֲכָמִים הַקַּדְמוֹנִים, וְלֹא יָדְעוּ שֶׁיֵּשׁ שִׁנּוּי בַּמְּקוֹמוֹת, וכ"ש בַּזְּמַנִּים, שֶׁהַדּוֹרוֹת פּוֹחֲתִים וְהוֹלְכִים, וְאִם הָרִאשׁוֹנִים כַּעֲנָקִים, אָנוּ כְּיַתּוּשִׁין, גַּם מָה שֶׁהִזְהִירוּ מִשּׁוּם רוּחוֹת, כֻּלָּן לֹא שֶׁכִּיחֵי הָאִדָּנָא (לֹא נִמְצָאוֹת הַיּוֹם)"- יָם שֶׁל שְׁלֹמֹה מַסֶּכֶת חֻלִּין פֶּרֶק ח)
