Episode description

Different types of rain: depending on volume and timing. First, the Yoreh. And Malkosh. And why both have to be for a blessing, from Heshvan to Nisan. With several explanations, based on the biblical text. Also, Reviya, fruitful, fertile rain that makes mud, enough to seal a barrel. Also, what if rain comes down in some part of the country, but not elsewhere - is that considered rain being withheld, or really not? It's a machloket, but it also gets resolved. Plus, when do we make a blessing over the rain, and what blessing is it? [Dedicated in prayer for rain in the Land of Israel]
