### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The word here is from "soothing," meaning calming or gentle, and not the old word for truth. Interpretation: Proverbs says gentle speech is a tree of life, while twisted speech hurts the spirit. Tradition teaches that kind words heal. In the primary lessons: in fairy tales, an old word used to say something is really true
