The word "שכל" (sechel) in Hebrew is typically translated to English as "intellect" or "reason." It refers to the human capacity for understanding, thinking, and analyzing. Sechel represents the faculty by which a person can comprehend things, make sound judgments, and draw conclusions.
In a broader sense, "sechel" also encompasses the ability for moral and logical judgment, enabling a person to distinguish between right and wrong and make thoughtful decisions in life.
