### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Psalm it means smoothness. A false friend's speech is smooth as cream, but he means war. Interpretation: The verse warns that kind words can hide a bad heart. Tradition values speech that matches inner intention. In the primary lessons: mostly in «ice cream»: cones, scoops or tubs that are counted or bought; also an amount of cream in a recipe; in everyday life and safety: put on sun cream before going out in the sun; in cooking: whipped cream on desserts, strawberries and cream; phrases: «ice cream», «sun cream», «whipped cream», «the cream of the crop» (the very best)
