Talmid chochom could either mean a talmid who is a chochom or the talmid of a chochom. From the fact that in the plural we say talmidei chachamim instead of Talmidim chachamim we see that the second pshat is the correct one. Accordingly, the female form would be talmidas chochom.

But as far as the garbage, you go basar tvar mana, according to Tosfos that when you throw the thing its like broken, but when you throw at the thing, you don't go basar mei'ikara.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-66096353425957272892009-03-05T19:08:00.000-06:002009-03-05T19:08:00.000-06:00As A masmid like you should have noticed I wrote t...As A masmid like you should have noticed I wrote torah FOR purim to be Mimayet Purim torah but I am still waiting and I would not mind purim torah either esspecialy the one with reb chaim Abov hamans daughther pouring the garbage on her head with the Gemara in baba ka,ma I cant remeber it i just remeber liking it and hearing one of my rebbeim saying its wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-48886016231326735522009-03-05T14:42:00.000-06:002009-03-05T14:42:00.000-06:00Purim Torah?
