Q. Someone who traveled from Israel to Chutz Laaretz, and was already saying Tal Umatar in the Amida, as they do there after Sukot. He continued to do so now, as was instructed by his Rabbi. But then he had a day of Yohrzait for his mother and wanted to daven the tefila for the Tzibur,. What should he do now? Should he better not be a Shaliach Tzibur on that day?
A. Teshuvos Ridbaz (5: 2055) quoting R"A Eiger maintains that he keeps on davening in his quiet Shemone Essrei, Vesen Tal Umatar as he did before he left Eretz Yisroel. However, in the repetition of the Amida he recites aloud, he should follow what the people in the shul recite and that is Vesen Bracha.
Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is similar.
