Final Thoughts And Photos on the Winter Storm of 5768

By Pinchas

As the last few stubborn patches of snow melt away I wanted to share a few more pictures I took and a wonderful thought.


These were taken on Thursday morning which was relatively warm and sunny.


Dogs, kids, just about everyone was playing in the snow.


And the roads slowly turned back to normal.


But I wanted to share something that no one seems to point out.



It’s a truly amazing thing when you see it with your own eyes.



If these pictures don’t prove how rain (and snow) on Eretz Yisrael are a direct gift from our father-in-heaven.


And a most beautiful gift indeed.



Isn’t it?


But just look at this radar capture taken in the midst of the storm. The rain and snow falls literally only within the biblical borders of Eretz Yisrael – and just stops – just like that – as soon as the clouds pass over the border...

    Maybe it's true, or maybe our radar is limited by the higher altitude of the Moab mountains.

    Nonetheless, you do inadvertantly point out why the tribes of Reuven, Gad, and Menashe wanted that area on the 'East Bank'.

    No rain this coming week :-(

    Josh - I was actually more amazed at how the southern border of the storm matches the border as depicted by Rav Aryeh Kaplan's ZT"L Living Torah. Rain and snow on the very east of Eretz Yisrael benefit the Jews as well since the Jordan river and underground wells and springs are refilled.

    By the way the radar is NOT limited by the mountains. If you look at the colors the heaviest rainfall is in the center of Israel and it becomes lighter and lighter as it moves toward the southern and eastern borders.

    But I agree with you that any miracle can easily be written off as "nature." Even the "splitting of the sea" - nonbelievers brazenly claim was a combination of low tide and rare extreme winds. Rav Dessler ZT"L teaches that the role of a Jew is to do the opposite and ALWAYS see the miracle in nature. Nature IS by G-d. Nature IS a miracle.
