### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah, to call a name often shows who the person or place is, and says why. God "calls" to people, and also gives names by calling. Interpretation: The giving of a name tells something about the one named. The rabbis also read God's calling to Moses ("Moses, Moses") as a sign of love. In the primary lessons: phone calls with minutes and costs; or naming something; in everyday safety, calling 911, 999, 000 or 111 in an emergency; phrases «call back», «call off» (cancel), «call out», «call names» (insult), «is called»
