sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Genesis, man is made in God's "likeness", and in Deuteronomy the likeness of any creature must not be made as an idol. Interpretation: Tradition reads "in the likeness of God" as meaning each person has a special worth, with a mind and a conscience, and not that God has a body. The ban on making likenesses guards against worshiping images. In the primary lessons: In families: "There's a strong likeness between you and your mum." In art lessons: a portrait that is a good likeness looks like the person. Phrases: a strong likeness, a family likeness, a good likeness.
