Orthodox rabbis are dispatching one of their own to the Georgia statehouse in Atlanta to pray for an end to the drought that is leaving large swaths of the Southeast parched and dry.

From the press release:

“Orthodox Jews wish to show solidarity with those suffering from the drought and other natural disasters. We want to kick off a nationwide movement of prayer. Furthermore, we wish to announce a program which we believe could curtail much of the disaster our country has been experiencing” declared Rabbi Yehuda Levin.


For what it’s worth, Levin claims to have a good track record on this sort of thing. After staging a similar event at the statehouse in South Carolina in 1986, Levin reports that it rained for three days straight with a total of 2.75 inches.
