When someone describes a boy as a gavra what do they mean? Is it negative or positive?
Gavra means a person, I would ask the person to be more specific in what they are referring to.
That he is at work
Gavra sounds like Gevurah (strength), or in the Gemara it says Gavra Rabba–a great man—who has reached his Gevura (which is 30) or potential (which is any age).
A boy called a Gavra is a positive compliment.
it probebly means a person with a strong mind of his own and older then his actual age
I think similar to Macho.
it means he is not a cheftza rather a gavra.
There are two brisks, because there are two dinim. Rav Aj is for the gavra and rav dovid is for the cheftza
positive. As in a real man.
Of course, I may be biased 🙂
Chacham – You mean Rav AY
Gavra means man. To call a boy a man is a positive thing I would think. Like, he stands up for himself and such.
He’s not a cheftza.
“He’s not a cheftza.”
no one likes him 😀
