sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It often means to turn away from God and neglect His commandments, not merely to lose a memory. It is the opposite of "remember." Interpretation: Tradition puts great weight on remembering, as in remembering the Exodus and Shabbat. Forgetting God is seen as the root of sin, and Joseph's naming of Manasseh is read as a sign of his healing. In the primary lessons: In school: forget your homework, forget a spelling; tricks to not forget — lists, notes, routines. In safety: never forget to look both ways; don't forget sun cream. In stories forgetting something often starts the trouble. Phrases: forget about, forget to do, don't forget, I forgot, forget it, never forget, forgetful.
