### sense in the lessons

Interpretation: In Sefer Yetzirah the lungs are among the body parts assigned to letters and to the male and female principles. Tradition reads the body as a small copy of the whole world. In the primary lessons: In science lessons on the body, air goes down the windpipe into the lungs; the lungs are protected by the ribs; the diaphragm muscle helps them fill and empty. Exercise makes lungs work harder; smoking and smoke damage them. In safety, in a fire smoke is dangerous to lungs, so stay low. Phrases: «at the top of your lungs» (very loudly), «lung capacity».
