### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah it can mean God showing himself to someone, or the pilgrim who "appears before" God at the Temple. Interpretation: The command to "appear" three times a year is the pilgrimage to Jerusalem at Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot, and tradition says none should come empty-handed. In the primary lessons: In maths: things that show up are added (more birds appear); «how many times does a number appear in the list» means count; a number that appears in a pattern. In science: stars appear at night; buds appear in spring. In stories: a ghost suddenly appeared. Phrases: appear in, appear to, it appears that, suddenly appear, appear on TV.
