While I’ve read several accounts of sukkot being blown about by the storm yesterday, for which I feel sorry. I’m still so very happy that the first earnest (gully washer) rain fell in the region of the Galilee yesterday evening. We’ve had showers that promised the heavy rains but yesterday was our first heavy rain in the Galilee
After almost 5 years in Israel, I have learned the meaning of the scriptural blessing of rain. Every year we have a 5-ish month pause in all precipitation from heaven. When it returns it is a joyous event. I do mean joyous. At least to one who understands the scripture.
The rains came in with a bang of thunders and lightning. The kid in me had to go out and play in it. What a blessing, what joy.Updated Oct 18, 2019, 4:13 AM
