Talmid Chacham, Ben Torah same difference.
No its not and most girls wont say they are looking for a Talmid Chacham. A talmud Chacham is a serious Torah scholar someone who "knows his beans" not just a guy who can learn a Daf Gemorah or knows some things.In Positive Mitzvah #209, the Torah accords great respect to the Talmid Chacham (pronounced TAHL-mid KHAH-kham), literally “wise student,” the traditional phrase for the Torah scholar. One is to rise before him, give him front-row seats and otherwise show him honor. The classic books of Halachah advise parents to marry their children to Torah scholars, and Jewish communities seeking leaders always inquired as to a candidate’s Torah knowledge as the primary deciding factor. Devoting oneself to a Torah scholar, becoming his disciple, serving him, studying under him, and learning from him, is considered devoting one’s self to G-d, as the Torah scholar, having internalized more Torah, is more in tune with G-d’s Will than you.
(From askmoses.com)DEFINE YOUR TERMS
I was once talking to a tourist on his first visit to Israel. He seemed disenchanted.
“They call this the Holy Land,” he said. “But I’ve been up north, down south, to Jerusalem, Masada, all over—and there’s nothing holy about this place.”
So I asked him: “Tell me, are you a bafoofstik?”
“What’s that?”
“Just answer the question: Are you a bafoofstik or not?”
“How can I answer when I don’t even know what you’re talking about?!”
“Aha,” I stopped him. “And holiness? Is it angels flapping their wings down the street, in rainbows of color and light, swirling in and out of rocks?”
We throw around concepts, but often our thoughts are vague and unsubstantial. Without an objective definition, we can’t begin any intellectual process.
“Are you a good person?”
“Of course, I’m good! What kind of an insulting question is that?”
“So tell me, what is the definition of a good person?”
If you really desire to be a good person, you need more than feelings to determine whether you’re reaching your goal or not. You’ll need a clear way of measuring it. Otherwise people can do whatever they feel like doing and paint themselves “good.” Even Hitler presumably had a goal of “doing good”—ridding the world of Jewish vermin. But somewhere, something went wrong.
Once you have an objective definition, then you can determine if your life is consistent with that definition. It’s true, a person can twist anything. But the more clarity you’ve got, the harder it is to twist.

Correct English would be get hold of. Or a hold of ahold is not actually a real word although it kind of evolved into one. I have the red misspelling squiggle under ahold.Posted 2 years ago # -

I know a professional talmid chochom.
People hire him when they need a talmid chochom to say or do something for them. Sometimes, newspapers call him for a quote when they have a story that needs a talmid chochom quote, and he's been in a couple of movies.Posted 2 years ago # -

Adorable: where do you work?
Posted 1 year ago # -
In my family Your not "allowed" to say your bored!!! You've got to just keep busy or pretend you are... It stems from my grandmother who says she's never bored and expects us all to follow suit -I guess... But I really am bored!! I'm in search of a job.. Be grateful you are bored at work and not bored without a job!!! Remember your getting paid for the boredom!!!
Posted 1 year ago # -

Posted 1 year ago # -
