Which Berakhah Do You Say on Rain?

Part One: The Babylonian Talmud lists three possible blessings, the Jerusalem Talmud only one. What explains the difference? Geography. The halaha varies with location. Differences in attitudes toward rain in Israel, Iraq, and England. Why people stopped saying the blessing – and why you should say it.

Parts Two and Three: While rain is unremarkable in many countries, in the Land of Israel it is always a reason to thank HASHEM. Many Jews, however are not even aware that there is a berakha for rain. Why did God place us in a land where rain is precious?
