Is it negative or positive? August 5, 2011 6:05 am at 6:05 am #794714 real-briskerMember Gavra means a person, I would ask the person to be more specific in what they are referring to. August 5, 2011 6:06 am at 6:06 am #794715 TheGoqParticipant That he is at work August 5, 2011 8:41 am at 8:41 am #794716 MichaelCMember 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.

Rav Aj is for the gavra and rav dovid is for the cheftza August 5, 2011 12:53 pm at 12:53 pm #794720 gavra_at_workParticipant positive. As in a real man. Of course, I may be biased 🙂 August 5, 2011 2:22 pm at 2:22 pm #794721 real-briskerMember Chacham – You mean Rav AY August 5, 2011 5:28 pm at 5:28 pm #794722 yitayningwutParticipant Gavra means man. To call a boy a man is a positive thing I would think. Like, he stands up for himself and such. August 5, 2011 8:04 pm at 8:04 pm #794723 ItcheSrulikMember He’s not a cheftza. August 5, 2011 10:05 pm at 10:05 pm #794724 bombmaniacParticipant “He’s not a cheftza.” no one likes him 😀 Author Posts Viewing 12 posts - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
