### sense in the lessons

Interpretation: Many scholars have tried for centuries to understand the Sefer Yetzirah, which is a very short and mysterious book. It is called "sealed" because its meaning stays hidden. In the primary lessons: In school effort is often praised more than results («great effort!»); in science, levers and pulleys let a small effort move a big load. Phrases: «make an effort», «put effort into», «worth the effort», «with no effort», «a team effort».
