### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: To take food. The Torah says which animals may or may not be eaten and sets rules for eating the sacrifices. Interpretation: These rules are the basis of kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws, which the tradition treats as a way of making daily eating holy. In the primary lessons: food eaten is gone («Tom ate 1 of them» = subtract); in everyday life healthy eating, meals, «eat up», «eat out» (at a restaurant); in science animals that eat plants (herbivores) and eat meat (carnivores), food chains; in safety do not eat berries you do not know
