sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah it is used for God alone, who makes the world and everything in it. The Hebrew word bara means making something new, and is used only when God is the maker. The prophets and psalms use it for God making the heavens, Israel and people, and in Psalm 51 David asks God to create in him a clean heart. Interpretation: Tradition holds that God created the world out of nothing by speaking. Sefer Yetzirah teaches that God made the world with the twenty-two letters and the ten sefirot. Tradition reads the prayer for a clean heart as asking God for a new start after sin, something only God can give. In the primary lessons: In art, writing and design lessons, children create pictures, stories, models and games. In science, «create a circuit» or «create a fair test». In everyday life: «create a password», «create an account». Phrases: «create a story», «create a mess», «create problems», «create space».
