### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The words come from the Priestly Blessing, which the kohanim say over the people. Interpretation: The tradition reads the shining face as God's favour and peace given to Israel. In the primary lessons: In science, the Sun and stars shine with their own light; the Moon does not — it reflects sunlight. Shiny materials reflect light well. In safety, never shine a torch or laser into someone's eyes and never look straight at the Sun. In stories, shining eyes show joy. Phrases: the sun is shining, shine a torch, rise and shine (wake up!), take a shine to (start to like), rain or shine.
