## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Some translators of Sefer Yetzirah discuss "wind" and "breath" as meanings of the Hebrew ruach, and look for a word that suits the Holy Spirit. In the primary lessons: In science and geography a breeze is a soft movement of air; sea breezes blow from the sea onto land on sunny days. In everyday life a breeze cools you on a hot day, dries washing and helps fly kites. In stories leaves rustle in the breeze. Phrase: «shoot the breeze» means chat (American).

### Examples

- Perhaps capturing an intermediary concept between the immaterial divine imminence and the material wind is ‘wisp’, meaning both a small breeze and a phantom presence, but ‘Holy Wisp’ is a rather underwhelming expression. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/B/breeze/#x1)

### Note

Countable: a breeze, breezes. Adjective: breezy. Wind words from weak to strong: breeze, wind, gale, storm, hurricane. Not «breeze» for a strong wind.
