    1. Title: Tal Umotor or Berachah?

      About 40 years ago, I had occasion to fly from Israel to Europe, (it was an occasion when it was halachically permitted for me to leave Israel). The date was when one was already saying “vesein tal umotor” in Israel but not yet in the Diaspora. During the flight, whilst already over Europe, a minyan was arranged to daven minchah on the airplane (in an area of the plane which did not disturb other passengers). I recollect someone questioning whether to say “vesein tal umotor” or “vesein berachah”. However, the general custom is that since one has already begun to say “vesein tal umotor” whilst in Israel, one should continue to say it when outside Israel. (Sha’arei Teshuvah, Orach Chaim 117:4)
