Question

Is it necessary today in Israel to recite the blessing with the mention of Name and Kingdom on the beginning of rainfall, as explained in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 221?

Answer

Shalom Rav

Only if there was a drought and there was suffering because of it, do we bless with the mention of Name and Kingdom when the rains fall.

And since there was no drought, thank God, we are not obligated to bless this blessing. [It can be blessed but without the mention of Name and Kingdom].
