Maori see the rainbow as renewed hope or new beginnings. My grandfather always told me that rainbows are prominent where we live because they are our sign of hope.

The temptation to stare at it is very great. <br />It is a sign that G-d will not destroy the world again by a flood, but also a sign of impending judgment.Devorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793434651294780439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653322480497916341.post-70969015293309672712012-05-11T07:23:15.209+10:002012-05-11T07:23:15.209+10:00This post surprised me.

Next time, though, I'll be worried when I see a rainbow.Serpilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653322480497916341.post-55333789497972762212012-05-10T01:24:16.524+10:002012-05-10T01:24:16.524+10:00Years ago a week before Ariel Sharon had his massi...Years ago a week before Ariel Sharon had his massive stroke on the 5th of Tevet 5766, I saw a very large spectacularly beautiful full circular rainbow over the Temple Mount. I was north of Yerushalayim, and as we turned left at the Geva Binyamin traffic circle toward Yerushalayim, there it was. Yes, it was during Chanukah of 5766 after the Disengagement.Dov Bar-Leibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915682856620634130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653322480497916341.post-11942532132439354672012-05-09T14:22:12.995+10:002012-05-09T14:22:12.995+10:00When one shoots an arrow with a bow, first the arr...When one shoots an arrow with a bow, first the arrow is at the starting position, then it is pulled back, and then it shoots forward.
