Rabbi Yossei the son of Judah of Kfar HaBavli would
say: One who learns Torah from youngsters, whom is he comparable to? To one who
eats unripe grapes and drinks [unfermented] wine from the press. One who learns
Torah from the old, whom is he comparable to? To one who eats ripened grapes and
drinks aged wine.
Said Rabbi Meir: Look not at the vessel, but at
what it contains. There are new vessels that are filled with old wine, and old
vessels that do not even contain new wine.
