Behar 5733 Bringing Rain

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Sedra Behar, Erev Lag B'Omer, 5733 (1973). The Zohar recounts that Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai caused rain to fall not through prayer but by saying a Torah teaching on the verse 'how pleasant when brothers sit together'. The discourse investigates why Rashbi's Torah study could bring physical rain, revealing the unique power of Torah as a conduit for Divine blessing into the physical world.
