A half-inch to an inch of rain fell in some parts of Georgia last night – not enough to put a dent in the drought but it came on the heels of prayers for rain. “God says it rains on the righteous and the unrighteous, so who knows,” an Atlanta resident told ABC News.
The showers came less than 24-hours after Governor Sonny Perdue organized a special service in front of the Capitol to pray for rain – and Rabbi Yehuda Levin recited prayers for rain on the steps of the Capital [reported HERE on YW].
It was part of a storm system that became violent in many parts of the south. High winds and tornadoes tore through parts of Kentucky.
But meteorologists say Georgia – and the rest of the south – need a great deal more rain in the days ahead to break the brutal drought that has gripped the south this year.

is rabbi levin taking responsibility for the injuries & damage caused by his rain?
maybe he shouldn’t have shaken the lulav so hard
can you imagine what rabbi levin could have done had he davend WITH kavvna?
Are they auctioning off his glasses yet?
All jokes aside, I have heard some (goyish) talk show hosts of a very large radio station speak very respectfully and positively about this initiative. Regardless how much rain falls, I think this is a tremendous kiddush Hashem.
There is a wave of anti-Semitism currently sweeping the world. Rabbi Levin is doing a great service in building good relations with our non-Jewish neighbors.–It’s Hatzolas Nefoshes!
thank you yehudah
Hey, # 2, I believe motze shem ra is an issur d’oraissa. As you were taught in kindergarten,” If you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut”.
