### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A female deer; here a graceful, loving animal used in a poem about a beloved wife. Interpretation: Tradition reads Proverbs 5:19 as praise of faithful married love, and the Talmud also reads the "doe" as the Torah, which should delight a person always. In the primary lessons: maths: animals counted, often with fawns or bucks (all deer = does + bucks + fawns); science: animal families, male and female names; stories: a doe in the forest; songs: «Doe, a deer, a female deer»
