sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Raisin cakes were offered in the worship of idols. They were also a food in Israelite life. Interpretation: Hosea's wife is shown as loving other gods, like raisin cakes. The tradition reads this as Israel's unfaithfulness, yet God still loves her. In the primary lessons: In everyday life raisins are snacks and baking ingredients (cakes, buns, cereal). In science they show drying and change (a grape loses water to become a raisin) and the «dancing raisins» experiment with fizzy water. In safety, raisins and grapes are poisonous to dogs. Phrases: «a box of raisins», «raisin bread», «oatmeal and raisin».
