Yesterday we learnt that we add a prayer for rain in the 9th Bracha of the Amida - בָּרֵךְ עָלֵינוּ - starting from 7th Cheshvan in Israel, and from the 5th December outside of Israel.
If you're unsure if you added וְתֵן טַל וּמָטָר לִבְרָכָה or not:
- For the first 30 days you have to assume you left it out. (Yesterday's Halocho gave the rules for amending that).
After 30 days you can assume that you said it.

Tip: If you practice saying it 90 times (starting from אֶת הַשָּׁנָה הַזֹּאת) then you can assume you said it correctly.:
אֶת הַשָּׁנָה הַזֹּאת וְאֶת כָּל מִינֵי תְּבוּאָתָהּ לְטוֹבָה וְתֵן טַל וּמָטָר לִבְרָכָה עַל פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה

What if you live in the southern hemisphere? Is it still the same?
ReplyDeleteSame for both hemispheres. The entire Diaspora follows the climate as it was in Babylon about 2K years ago.
