### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Often a tool of God: the east wind blights the ears of grain, and a wind blows the sea over Egypt's army. Interpretation: The same word (ruach) also means spirit, and tradition notices that God's wind and God's spirit share a word. In the primary lessons: In science and weather, wind is moving air caused by the Sun heating the Earth unevenly; we measure it with wind vanes and anemometers; wind turbines make electricity (renewable energy). In safety: strong winds can blow down trees; stay inside in a storm. Phrases: wind up, wind down, windy, windmill, wind power, second wind.
