Question
A person living abroad visiting Israel between 7 Cheshvan and December 4-5, how should they proceed with saying 'Veten Tal U'Matar Le'Vracha'?
Answer
A person living abroad who travels to Israel should say 'Veten Bracha' in the blessing of 'Barech Aleinu', and in 'Shema Koleinu' before 'Ki Ata Shomea'... say 'Veten Tal U'Matar Le'Vracha'. This rule applies whether he arrives in Israel before 7 Cheshvan or after; he should always say 'Veten Bracha' in 'Barech Aleinu' and 'Veten Tal U'Matar Le'Vracha' in 'Shema Koleinu'. This is if he intends to return to his place, but if he intends to stay, he should follow the local custom.
