### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah, death comes as the end of each life, or as punishment, and is often followed by being "gathered to one's people". Interpretation: Tradition says death came into the world after Adam's sin, and that the righteous are remembered for blessing. In the primary lessons: maths: a cube with numbers 1 to 6 for rolls and chances; as a verb, plants or animals that die are taken away (subtract); science: life cycles, all living things die; plants die without water; stories: sad parts when a pet dies; phrases: «die down», «dying to»
