Which blessing is said upon seeing a rainbow?

can chabad.org make sure any time there is hebrew on their site it is the standard font that all jews know how to read as hebrew and not this modern hard to read font where the make letters look not the way letters actually look so therefore i can barely even read it because one of the letters is a straight line and in normal font it's not at all a straight line? just struggled to read this bracha. but wouldn't have if it were in normal classic font.

Thank you! Thank you, Mrs. Chein for "Which blessing is said upon seeing
a rainbow." The vast rainbow, in the northern quadrant just
now (it's fading)is the first I've seen in many years, the last in Eretz Yisroel 17 years ago. I dashed to your website to remind myself of the wonderful brocho and found your helpful entry. With gratitude, Reply

Thank you - this is just what I needed :) Reply

One is not allowed to stare at a rainbow and enjoy from its beauty. Why? B/c the rainbow reminds Hashem of the fact that He had to destroy all of His children in a flood as well as the fact that this rainbow you see is saying that this place should be destroyed as well. Reply

The prayer is for the wonder of nature. That we may live in it, learn about it, the covenant is that this will always continue so we may not fear learning even the innermost secrets of The physical universe .

Who does not stop with delight at the rainbow? Yet even the ancients knew there was something to be learned. Even in basic education the physical principles of light are grasped fairly easily by this simple wonderful example. You can show it in a classroom with a prism , flashlight, and a piece of paper.

Levi @Anonymous Perhaps, rainbows did exist prior to the flood, however they were not yet a symbol of this promise.. Reply

what's that falling from the sky? That implies that it hadn't rained before the flood. Water above the heaven stayed there protecting us from the sun's harmful radiation and waters below the earth and springs and rivers fed the land. Reply

Rainbows Slightly off-topic but, does this imply that light was not refrangible before the flood? Reply
