Question
When do we start saying 'Veten Tal U'Matar' outside of Israel?
Answer
This year, we start saying 'Veten Tal U'Matar' outside of Israel on the evening of the 5th of Kislev. Generally, it begins 60 days after the Tekufah, which falls on the evening of December 4th, except in the year preceding a Gregorian leap year (February has 29 days), in which case it starts on the evening of December 5th. For example, in the years 5784 and 5788, February will have 29 days, so in 5784 and 5788, outside of Israel, it will begin on the evening of December 5th instead of December 4th. [Every Gregorian year divisible by four without a remainder is a leap year].
