sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The anger of the LORD "kindled" means God's strong displeasure when Israel sins, often followed by punishment. Interpretation: The commentators say that speaking of God's anger is a human way of talking, because God has no feelings like ours. It shows that wrongdoing matters. In the primary lessons: In lessons about feelings, anger is a normal feeling; what matters is what you do with it. Good ways to handle anger: stop and breathe slowly, count to ten, walk away, talk about it, draw or move your body; hitting, breaking things or hurting with words is not okay. In stories anger often causes conflict and is shown by red faces, clenched fists and shouting. Phrases: in anger, full of anger, anger management, shake with anger.
