Wolf: The definition of a Talmid Chochom isn’t a matter of opinion on which you can disagree.
OK, so I’m a kofer with a differing opinion.
The Gemorah enumerates the attributes of a Talmid Chochom. These include not being the last to enter the Beis HaMedrash, not talking to a woman in the street, etc.
I guess I’m definitely not a Talmid Chochom then. I hold the door open for people and purposely go in last. I also talk to my wife in the street. Just further proof that I’m the lowest of the low.
The opening sentence says a Talmid Chochom is modest, humble, endures justice, avoids wrongdoing, etc.
Definitely not me, as we’ve observed.
