The Badatz Eidah HaChareidis has called to say Aneinu Borei Olam in Shemonah Esrei due to the lack of rain.
The call follows the psak of HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein on Shabbos to begin saying Aneinu.
“Kislev has arrived and rain hasn’t fallen,” the Badatz notice says. “We’ve heard the call of the Shomrei Torah farmers. Half of Kislev has already passed and this year is Motzei Shiviis and rain still hasn’t fallen and they’re hoping for Birchas Hashem and gishmei Bracha.”
“Therefore, the Beis Din Tzedek has ruled that until the Gishmei Bracha arrive, everyone should say the special tefillah for rain V’Aneinu Borei Olam in Birchas Shomeya Tefillah in Shemonah Esrei.”

More importantly this year is already very late on the secular calendar {כסלו already being 20 days later than last year}
For the second time, the addition is NOT “Aneinu”, it’s “Va’aneinu. I corrected you the first time you made this error, why do you keep making it? There is no such prayer as “Aneinu Borei Olam”.
Does it apply for people in Chutz L’aretz as well?
@Milhouse- the tefilah is indeed called “Aneinu”. It’s referred to as “V’aneinu” simply because it is added into the middle of שמע קולנו. In the middle of the bracha we ask HKB”H to answer this בקשה as well.
This little nitpick is the best objection you can raise towards YWN? Sheesh.
