### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: To speak quietly and thoughtfully with oneself, searching one's own heart. Interpretation: The tradition reads this as honest self-examination at night, as in the daily bedtime Shema, before calming down to rest. In the primary lessons: in tales a hero communes with his own heart, thinking quietly in his own mind, while in history a commune is a group of people sharing a town or a house.
