[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/screen/#m5) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The screen hung at the door of the Tabernacle and, in other places, in front of the ark. In the psalms a cloud is a screen in the desert, and God "screens" the psalmist's head in battle, meaning He protects him. Interpretation: The tradition sees the screens and veils as marking levels of holiness, with more holy places further inside. The cloud and the screened head are read as God's care and protection of His people. In the primary lessons: In everyday life and health: screen time — how long you spend looking at screens; turn off screens before bed to sleep well; take breaks to rest your eyes. In online safety: what you see on a screen is not always true. In computing lessons: the screen shows output. Phrases: screen time, touch screen, on screen, big screen, sunscreen, fly screen, screen saver, screenshot. ### examples - And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
