sense in the lessons

Interpretation: The root ספ״ר (s-f-r), meaning count, tell or book, is read as the source of the new word Sefirot. Tradition sees in it the ideas of number, telling and writing as the ways of creation. In the primary lessons: maths: money counted by number and value (penny 1 cent, nickel 5, dime 10, quarter 25); coin tosses in chance and probability (heads or tails, a 1 in 2 chance); everyday life: piggy banks, coin machines, coins in different countries; history: old coins found by archaeologists
