Mashiv Haruach Umorid Hageshem
"He causes the wind to blow and the rain to fall"
Before the start of the silent Musaf Amidah on Shmini Atzeret, the beadle bangs on a table and announces to the congregation that they will begin reciting "Mashiv Haruach Umorid Hageshem". [Source]
And a few days later.... thank G-d, the rain has finally begun to fall in drought affected areas of Australia.
Up to a month's worth of rain in a few days... the heaviest rainfall in years.
I hope that means we also here in Eretz Yisrael will receive our must needed infusion of heavenly rain, and that there was sufficient davening, begging and teshuva.
