### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Someone who helps, and often God Himself, who helps those who have no one else. Interpretation: The Psalms call God the helper of the weak, the orphan and the poor. Tradition reads this as God's care for those who are alone. In the primary lessons: In everyday life and school, helpers set up the classroom, hand out books, or help on trips. In safety lessons «look for the helpers» — police officers, teachers, shop staff — means there are people you can go to if you are lost or scared. In stories little helpers, like Santa's elves, do work for others. Phrases: «a good helper», «classroom helper», «parent helper», «mother's little helper».
