Like the dew of Chermon, that cometh down upon the mountains of Tzion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for ever. PSALMS (133:3) (The Israel Bible™)
Our verse mentions dewטל / tal which is a common Biblical
symbol of God’s bountiful blessings. Rain is another sign of God’s love for
mankind - what is the difference between rain and dew? According to Jewish
mysticism, while rain is a sign of God showering his abundant blessings upon us
freely from above, dew which “rises” from below, is related to the divine
blessings which are a result of our own efforts and achievements. Both Tal and
Talia are popular Hebrew girls name frequently given at the start as well as
closing of Israel's rainy season.
There are those who claim that present day Jews are not the
descendants of the original Hebrews. For those willing to listen to scientific
proof, this claim has been entirely discredited by recent studies in genetics.

Ilan Rosen's photo of Mount Chermon,
the highest summit in Israel. Because of its height, Chermon captures a great
deal of precipitation in this dry part of the world and is covered by snow for
most of the year - and is even home to an Israeli ski resort! The melted snow
forms streams which flow into the Jordan River.
