“This might be a fine point, the kind that you’d dismiss if you see it from a stranger but would give more thought of it came from someone you admire in some way. Therefore, I cannot help this last problem.”
This is the point we disagree. Your point is contrived. (iv’e heard it from others)
Why does an earthquake/comet/Thunder/lightning get a bercaha but eclipse doesnt?
My answer: “I dont know why chazal didnt establish one” maybe its a siman ra? (rainbow is different the text of the veracha isnt on the rainbow per se rather on Hashem keeping His promise kivayachol) But I dont find this convincing, in short I dont know why.
your answer is because it isnt actively coming across Hashem’s creation and it doesnt explain display of His Power and Rule.
why not? kacha
