Question
How should a person living in Israel who travels abroad behave when in Israel they say "Ve'ten Tal U'Matar Le'vracha" and abroad they still say "Ve'ten Bracha"?
Answer
A person living in Israel who travels abroad and was there before the 7th of Cheshvan, and remains there between the 7th of Cheshvan and December 4-5, should say "Ve'ten Bracha" in the "Barech Aleinu" blessing, and in "Shma Koleinu" before "for You hear prayer," they should say "Ve'ten Tal U'Matar Le'vracha." However, if they traveled between the 7th of Cheshvan and December 4-5, since they began saying "Ve'ten Tal U'Matar" in Israel, they should continue according to their custom. All this applies if they intend to return to their place, but if they intend to stay, they should follow the local custom.
