A mass prayer was initiated at the Kosel yesterday by Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel (Jewish Home) in response to the ongoing drought, which will soon be entering its fifth year. Barely any rain fell in November, which is ordinarily a month of substantial rainfall.
“We’ll tear open the heavens,” Ariel wrote on Facebook in his call for the mass prayer.
Israel’s Chief Rabbis, Rabbi David Lau and Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, were in attendance, as were Tzfat Chief Rabbi Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Rabbi Haim Druckman, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz and Rabbi Yisrael Ariel.
