I came back this year from Eretz Yisroel during merCheshvon, after they had already commenced requesting veSein Tal uMotor. Needless to say, I commenced requesting vSein Tal uMotor in Birkas haShonim, on marCheshvon 7th whilst in Israel not to be Poreish min haTzibur who is in dire need of rain.
Once I had commenced, the next Halocho of “Ein Mafsikin” comes into play, so I have continued ever since my return from Eretz Yisroel to Chutz lo’Oretz to request veSein Tal uMotor in Birkas haShonim.
BTW:- It is a wonderful idea for all of us to keep going to Eretz Yisroel and showing solidarity with our Brethren in Eretz Yisroel. I cannot recommend it highly enough, it is so wonderful.
