### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Sweet spices" and "sweet incense" were burned in the Tabernacle, and their smell was thought pleasing to God. Interpretation: The incense was made from a special mixture of spices that no one was allowed to copy for ordinary use. Tradition sees it as a sign of reverence and holiness. In the primary lessons: Maths: sweets are things counted, shared and eaten: sharing equally means divide, eating takes away. Health: too many sweets are bad for your teeth. Science: our tongue tastes sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Everyday: have a sweet tooth (like sugary food), sweet dreams.
