[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/shade/#m5) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Writings "shades" are the spirits of the dead, who live in the underworld below the waters. The psalmist asks whether they can rise and praise God, and Proverbs warns that a wrong path leads down to them. Interpretation: The tradition reads these verses as showing that the dead cannot praise God as the living do, so life is the time to give Him thanks. In the primary lessons: In health and safety lessons stay in the shade in the middle of the day when the sun is strongest, along with hat, sunscreen and water (Slip, Slop, Slap in Australia and New Zealand). In art and maths, shading parts of a shape shows fractions: shade 3 of 4 squares to show three quarters. In science trees give shade and keep places cooler. Phrases: in the shade, shade of colour, shade your eyes, lampshade, put in the shade (make look worse). ### examples - Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks?
