Hello, again!

The rains started up this week - heavy rain, with hail in the north of the country, and thunderstorms all around. This is a good thing; when you live in the Land of Israel you realize why our Sages established prayers for rain at certain points in the year. The rain in its proper time is a blessing - not only because people want a change in the weather, but because the crops need it.
