To ink written on paper that has been erased. Rabbi Yosay bar Yehudah of Kfar HaBavli said: He who learns Torah from the young, to what can he be compared? To one who eats unripe grapes or drinks wine from his vat; while he who learns Torah from the old, to what can he be compared? To one who eats ripe grapes or drinks aged wine. Rabbi Meir said: Do not look at the vessel, but rather at what it contains; there may be a new vessel filled with aged wine, or an old vessel in which there is not even new [wine].",
