Question
Should we mention in the blessing of the month "and rain in its time"?
Answer
Peace and blessings
Even in the months of Cheshvan and Nisan, we say "and rain in its time," even though the request pertains only to part of the month.
According to the custom of the Eastern communities, in winter they say "and rain in its time," and in summer "and dews of blessing in their time," they say "and dews of blessing and rain in its time."
