God's Bountiful Blessing

God's Bountiful Blessing

Like the dew of Chermon that falls upon the mountains of Tzion. There Hashem ordained blessing, everlasting life - Psalms 133:3

Tal, ‘dew,’ is a common biblical symbol of HaShem’s (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, rain is a sign of God showering his abundant blessings freely from above. Dew, which forms below from condensation of atmospheric water vapor, is related to the divine blessings which are a result of man’s own efforts and achievements.

This psalm teaches that Hashem’s blessing from above allows for the flowering of man’s work below.
