* Fun with the Parsha: Noach

This week’s parsha, Noach, tells the story of Noah and the ark. Noah trusted God enough to follow instructions and build a big ark, when the sky was still dry and there was no sign of a flood. When the rain came, Noah was already prepared to keep his family and every kind of animal safe and dry.
At the end of the story, God sends a rainbow as the sign of a covenant, a brit, never to destroy the world again. When we see a rainbow in the sky, we also think of the brit, that two-way street of promises and trust between us and God.
Did you know that there is a special blessing to say when you see a rainbow in the sky? This is the blessing:
Blessed are You, God our Lord, Ruler of the universe, who remembers the brit, and is faithful to God’s brit, and keeps God’s promise.
