הגדרה (אנגלית)

Literary: young and wise.

("Isi ben Yehudah says: Because of gray hair you shall rise"—meaning even all white hairs are included. Rabbi Yosei HaGelili is the first tanna! The difference between them is a young and wise person: the first tanna holds that a young and wise person is not included, while Rabbi Yosei HaGelili holds that even a young and wise person is included" — Kiddushin 32b; and likewise: "And yet, you are a person of reasoning, truly a 'young and wise' one, and in terse wording, as if to express the dependence, it sharpens my intellect" — Chaim Beer / Nozot, 226).
