Title: Answer to the question of the rain seemingly coming from avoda zara.
Author: walter levin Date: Jul 20 2018

The answer to the question is that the Avoda Zara knows when Hashem plans to make rain fall. Doesn't the fact that the Avoda Zara knows what Hashem will do validate it? This answer seems to say that there is somewhat of a power from Avoda Zara. What do you make of this? Thanks, Zev Levin
