### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Fowl of the air" means birds. In Sefer Yetzirah air is one of the three elements, tied to the letter Aleph. Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah says the three Mother letters Aleph, Mem and Shin stand for air, water and fire. Air is said to balance between the other two. In the primary lessons: mostly a word of the story; sometimes air in balloons or tires, or travel by air; in science, air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, it has weight and pushes (air pressure); phrases «fresh air», «by air», «on air», «in the air», «air pollution»
