### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah, God "having respect" to someone means He looks on them with favor and accepts them. Interpretation: Tradition reads that God accepted Abel's offering and not Cain's because of the hearts of the givers. In the primary lessons: In school and everyday life, respect means listening when others speak, using kind words, not touching others' things without asking, and accepting differences. Respect for nature: leave no litter, do not harm wildlife. Respect for your body and others' bodies: say no, and accept no. Phrases: «show respect», «treat with respect», «earn respect», «with respect», «pay your respects» (visit or honour someone, often after a death).
