Ask Hashem for rain In the season of late rain. It is Hashem who causes storms; And He will provide rainstorms for them, Grass in the fields for everyoneZechariah 10:1 (The Israel Bible™)שַׁאֲלוּ מֵיְהוָה מָטָר בְּעֵת מַלְקוֹשׁ יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה חֲזִיזִים וּמְטַר־גֶּשֶׁם יִתֵּן לָהֶם לְאִישׁ עֵשֶׂב בַּשָּׂדֶהHear the verse in Hebrewsha-a-LU may-a-do-NAI ma-TAR b’-AYT mal-KOSH a-do-NAI o-SEH kha-zee-ZEEM um-tar GE-shem yi-TAYN la-HEM l’-EESH AY-sev ba-sa-DEH
Praying for Rain
The Land of Israel soaks up its water from the rains of heaven. Even in the winter months, rains do not fall naturally in the Land of Israel unless man turns to Hashem (God) in prayer. When Hashem answers the prayers of His children, the streams and rivers of Israel fill up and provide the necessary hydration for the country's crops and forests. In times of blessing and prosperity, Hashem provides enough rain to cause pooling alongside the country's many waterways, as pictured above at Nachal Arugot (Arugot Stream) in the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve.
