==============================
Tonight (Saturday), starting with the Maariv evening prayers, we begin inserting a request for rain -- "v'ten tal u'matar" -- in the 9th blessing of the Amidah (in the Holy Land, the request for rain is inserted beginning on Cheshvan 7)
Jacob was greatly afraid, and he was distressed (32:8)
He was afraid that he might be killed, and distressed that he might kill.
(Midrash Rabbah)
If Esau comes to the one camp, and smites it, then the camp which is left shall escape (32:9)
He prepared himself in three ways: he sent a gift, he prayed, and he made ready for war.
(Rashi)
