Ahhhh, I love the smell of zionism in the morning.Today was a national day of fasting and prayer in order to break the drought and bring the winter rains. You see, its around 30 degrees everyday here despite the fact that winter should have started about 2 months ago. Not good. So various Rabbis and the like decided in leiu of calling choni and his maagal (JFGI) to follow massechet taanit and have a fast day.
Look, it's not like I know if/think these things work but it's cool to see the country doing something that has gone largely unpracticed for millenia but revived right from the pages of the gemara.
Ok. So maybe it's just me that likes that.
In any case sabbatical salutations
