A New Beginning: Noah and the Rainbow

Hebrew Keyword: Brit (בְּרִית, 'covenant')

The word brit (pronounced 'breet') means 'covenant'—a sacred promise. The rainbow is a symbol of hope and divine faithfulness, reminding us that even after destruction, renewal is possible.

Think about the promises you make—to yourself, to others, or to God. How do you honor them, especially after difficult times?

Reflection: Notice a sign of hope in your day, however small. What does it remind you to be grateful for?
