"Grant dew and rain"

The Ruling of the Chief Rabbi: It is not Permissible to Postpone the Prayers for Rain Due to the War

Following questions regarding the postponement of a request for rain due to concerns that rain might be detrimental to military preparedness for war, the Rabbi replied that in the request "Grant dew and rain - for a blessing," we ask that the rain be for a blessing and not for a curse and disturbance.
