sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Taking off or handing over a sandal could show a legal deal, as in Ruth; sandal-wood came from Ophir for Solomon's Temple. Interpretation: The sandal in the Ruth story shows how property deals were sealed; the Sages also note removing shoes on holy ground. In the primary lessons: In everyday life, children wear sandals in summer, at the beach and on holiday. In safety lessons, sandals do not protect toes, so they are not good for hiking on rocks or in workshops. In history, people in ancient lands like Egypt and Rome wore sandals.
