On the way to school today, Elazar noticed the Keshet [Rainbow] when we stepped outside, and I taught him the Bracha that you make. Halachically, rainbows are not necessarily good omens, and coming the day after Yom HaAtzmaut is beyond the scope of the commentary on the Gersten Family blog. Although one should not gaze at a rainbow, it is permissible to look at.
Those sand dunes in the distance are across the highway, outside of the Yishuv. It wasn't even raining today, I guess it is just the moisture in the air. It is the first one I have seen since being here. With all the open sky of the desert you can really see the full arc of the rainbow across the sky. I can't remember the last time I saw a full arc like that anywhere.
