💡 Interesting Jewish fact

When you see a rainbow, there’s a special bracha to say: “…who remembers the covenant, is faithful to His covenant and keeps His word.” The rainbow is the sign of G-d’s promise to Noach never to flood the world again. Some authorities hold that you shouldn’t stare at a rainbow for long, or point it out to others, because it’s also a reminder that the world deserved judgment.

(Berachot 59a; Shulchan Aruch, OC 229:1, Mishnah Berurah ad loc.)
