sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Bracelets are gold ornaments given as gifts, such as those Abraham's servant gave Rebekah, and offered to the Lord in the Torah. The prophets also list them among the fine jewelry of women, and as a gift from God to Jerusalem. Interpretation: Ezekiel pictures God adorning Jerusalem with bracelets as His bride, and Isaiah lists them among the finery that will be taken away. The tradition reads this as showing both God's love and the danger of pride in wealth. In the primary lessons: In everyday life children make friendship bracelets from thread or beads and swap them. Some people wear medical bracelets that tell others about an allergy or illness — a safety point. In maths and art, bead bracelets are used for repeating patterns.
