Hi,
"[They asked Abba Chilkiyah, after he and his wife prayed for rain, and the rain came:] Why did the rainclouds come from your wife's corner, instead of from your corner?
"[He replied:] Because my wife is found at home and she gives bread to the needy, so that the benefit is immediate; I give money, and the benefit is not immediate. Alternatively, because of zealots who were in our neighbourhood; I prayed that they die and she prayed that they repent. [And they repented.]"
(Talmud, Taanit 23b)
Gmar tov,
Mordechai
