Moroccan King Asks Muslims and Jews To Pray For Rain

JTA reported this week that in Morocco as the country faces a possible drought, King Mohammed VI is covering all of his bases. He requested that prayers for rain be recited both in mosques, and synagogues in the country.  Last Friday Muslims prayed for rain, and on Saturday Jews in Moroccan synagogues did likewise in response to a statement from the Council of Israelite Communities in Morocco asking Jewish worshipers to pray so that God may "spare our country and help His Highness the King."
