Halachah: If one forgot Al Hanissim<\/em> in Shemoneh Esrei <\/em>and finished the bracha<\/em> V\u2019chol Hachaim<\/em>, he does not go back. He can make it up at the end of Shemoneh Esrei<\/em> by saying, \u201cHarachaman Hu ya\u2019aseh lanu nissim v\u2019niflaos keshem she\u2019asisa la\u2019avoseinu bayamim haheim bazman hazeh<\/em>\u201d and continue with Biyemei Mattisyahu<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q <\/strong>Where exactly at the end of Shemoneh Esrei<\/em> should one say this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> Before Yihiyu L\u2019ratzon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> Some say Yihiyu L\u2019ratzon<\/em> twice, once before Elokai Netzor<\/em> and once after. Should one say this Harachaman<\/em> before the first or the second?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> Before the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q <\/strong>May one say this Harachaman<\/em> on Shabbos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> No. He should start with Biyemei Mattisyahu<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q <\/strong><\/a>If one forgot Al Hanissim<\/em> in Bentching<\/em>, where should he say this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A <\/strong>Right after Bamarom<\/em>, where one says the Harachaman<\/em> for Shabbos or Rosh Chodesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> One forgot Al Hanissim<\/em> in Bentching <\/em>and is going to say the Harachaman<\/em> at the end. However, it is Rosh Chodesh Teves. Which comes first, the Harachaman<\/em> for Rosh Chodesh or the one for Al Hanissim<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A <\/strong>The one for Rosh Chodesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halachah: <\/strong>If someone says Baruch<\/em> Attah<\/em> Hashem<\/em> in error, in order to avoid mentioning Hashem\u2019s Name in vain, he says lamdeini<\/em> chukecha<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halachah:<\/strong> If one said Baruch Attah<\/em> Hashem <\/em>in Shemoneh Esrei<\/em> and realizes he forgot to add something, such as Ya\u2019aleh<\/em> V\u2019yavo<\/em>, in some cases he may say lamdeini chukecha<\/em> and go back, and at other times he must not. If he forgot Al Hanissim<\/em>, since if one finishes Shemoneh Esrei <\/em>without Al Hanissim<\/em> he doesn\u2019t repeat Shemoneh Esrei<\/em>, he should not say lamdeini chukecha<\/em>. Rather, he should finish the bracha<\/em> and continue davening<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q <\/strong>If one mistakenly did say lamdeini chukecha<\/em> and went back and said Al Hanissim<\/em>, is it a hefsek<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A <\/strong>No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q <\/strong>If one did say lamdeini chukecha<\/em> and went back to say Al Hanissim<\/em> and realizes his mistake in the middle of Al Hanissim<\/em>, must he stop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> No, he should continue saying Al Hanissim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> If one said lamdeini chukecha<\/em> and realized his mistake before beginning Al Hanissim<\/em>, what should he do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> If one said lamdeini chukecha<\/em> and it is within toch kedai dibbur<\/em>, he should say the bracha <\/em>again. He has thus negated lamdeini chukecha<\/em>, and he should continue Shemoneh Esrei<\/em>. If it is after kedai dibbur<\/em>, which it usually is, since he already said lamdeini chukecha<\/em> he is still in the middle of the bracha<\/em>, so he may now go back to Al Hanissim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halachah: <\/strong>At times, if one forgot an addition to Shemoneh Esrei<\/em> and he is between two brachos<\/em>, for example, one forgot Ya\u2019aleh V\u2019yavo<\/em> and is before beginning Modim<\/em>, he doesn\u2019t have to go back, but during Shacharis and Minchah of Rosh Chodesh one may say Ya\u2019aleh V\u2019yavo<\/em> right there. Al Hanissim<\/em> is different. If one remembers that he forgot Al Hanissim<\/em> and he finished V\u2019chol Hachaim <\/em>and did not start Sim Shalom<\/em>, he is not permitted to say it there. He should continue with Shemoneh Esrei<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> If by mistake one said Al Hanissim<\/em> there, is it a hefsek<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> If one is mistakenly saying Al Hanissim<\/em> but realizes his mistake in the middle, what should he do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> Stop saying Al Hanissim <\/em>and continue Shemoneh Esrei <\/em>with Sim Shalom<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q <\/strong>It\u2019s Chanukah, and instead of saying Biyemei Mattisyahu<\/em>, one said Biyemei Mordechai V\u2019Esther<\/em>. Is that a hefsek<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> One is davening<\/em> Ma\u2019arivon Motza\u2019ei Chanukah. He said Al Hanissim <\/em>by mistake. Is that a hefsek<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> If someone is in the middle of Shemoneh Esrei<\/em> and has a she\u2019eilah<\/em> concerning his davening<\/em>, he may walk to get a sefer <\/em>and look it up or even talk and ask the she\u2019eilah<\/em>. What if he has a she\u2019eilah<\/em> concerning Al Hanissim<\/em>? Does this heter<\/em> apply in this case, or since if one forgets Al Hanissim<\/em> he doesn\u2019t have to repeat Shemoneh Esrei<\/em>, he should just continue without asking the she\u2019eilah<\/em> even if that means he will leave out Al Hanissim<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> He may do everything to clarify his she\u2019eilah<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q<\/strong> If someone is davening<\/em> by heart and gets mixed up in the middle of Shemoneh Esrei<\/em>, he may walk to the bookshelf and get a siddur. Someone came late to Minchah and starts saying Shemoneh Esrei<\/em> by heart. He gets to Al Hanissim<\/em> and realized that he doesn\u2019t know it completely by heart. May he walk to the bookshelf and get a siddur, or since if one forgets Al Hanissim<\/em> he is nevertheless yotzei Shemoneh Esrei<\/em>, it\u2019s better not to walk in the middle of Shemoneh Esreh<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/strong> He should not walk to get a siddur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
