On special days, prayers that pertain to that specific day are added. There are additions that, if forgotten, prevent one\u2019s fulfillment of his obligation, and there are additions that l’chatchilah<\/i> must be recited, but b\u2019dieved<\/i>, if not included, do not prevent a person from fulfilling his obligation.<\/p>\n
On Chol HaMo\u2019ed <\/i>Pesach and Sukkot, the Ya\u2019aleh V\u2019Yavo<\/i> prayer is added in Birkat<\/i> Retzeh<\/i>. If a person forgets to say it, he must repeat the Amidah<\/i>. If he did not finish the Amidah<\/i> yet, he goes back to Retzeh<\/i>, recites Ya\u2019aleh V\u2019Yavo<\/i>, and from there continues on until the end of the Amidah<\/i>. Similarly, we recite Ya\u2019aleh V\u2019Yavo<\/i> on Rosh Chodesh<\/i>. If it was omitted in Shacharit<\/i> or Minchah<\/i>, the Amidah<\/i> must be repeated. However, if forgotten in Ma\u2019ariv<\/i> of Rosh Chodesh<\/i>, it is not recited again, because when the new month was sanctified in Jerusalem based on the testimony of witnesses, there was no sanctification at night. Therefore, the sanctity of Rosh Chodesh<\/i> does not yet apply in Ma\u2019ariv <\/i>(Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 422:1).<\/p>\n
On Motza\u2019ei Shabbat<\/i> we add the Havdalah<\/i> wording in Birkat<\/i> Attah Chonen<\/i> of the Amidah<\/i>. If forgotten, it is not repeated since the person praying will fulfill his obligation afterwards, in the Havdalah<\/i> ceremony performed over wine (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 294:1).<\/p>\n
On Chanukah and Purim, Al HaNisim<\/i> is added in Birkat HaHoda\u2019ah<\/i>. If <\/i>a person <\/i>forgets to recite it, he does not go back, since these holidays are rabbinic. Therefore, forgetting to mention them in the Amidah<\/i> does not prevent one from fulfilling his obligation (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 682:1).<\/p>\n
On fast days, individuals add Aneinu<\/i> in the berachah<\/i> of Shome\u2019a Tefillah<\/i>. Ashkenazim<\/i> only recite it in Minchah<\/i> (Rama<\/i> 565:3). Sephardim<\/i> recite it throughout the whole fast: on Tish\u2019ah B\u2019Av \u2013 in Ma\u2019ariv<\/i>, Shacharit<\/i>, and Minchah<\/i>; on the other fast days \u2013 in Shacharit<\/i> and Minchah<\/i> (Kaf HaChaim<\/i> 565:17). Some are accustomed to reciting it in Ma\u2019ariv<\/i> on all fast days (Rav Rakach<\/i>, Maharitz<\/i>). According to all minhagim<\/i>, one who forgets to say Aneinu<\/i> does not repeat the Amidah<\/i>.<\/p>\n
During the Ten Days of Repentance, which are days of judgment, for during that time Hashem\u2019s Kingdom is revealed in the world, we conclude the third berachah<\/i> with the words, \u201cHaMelech HaKadosh<\/i>,\u201d and conclude Birkat<\/i> Hashivah Shofteinu<\/i> with the words, \u201cHaMelech HaMishpat<\/i>.\u201d If one mistakenly says \u201cHaKel HaKadosh<\/i>\u201d in the third berachah<\/i> and does not correct himself as he recites it (toch k\u2019dei dibur<\/i>), he must return to the beginning of the Amidah<\/i> since, as we already learned, the first three berachot<\/i> are considered one unit and anyone who makes a mistake in one of them must go back to the beginning. If a person accidentally concludes Birkat<\/i> Hashivah Shofteinu<\/i> as usual, \u201cMelech ohev tzedakah u\u2019mishpat<\/i>\u201d and does not correct himself while reciting it (toch k\u2019dei dibur<\/i>), according to the custom of Ashkenazim<\/i> and some Sephardim<\/i>, b\u2019dieved<\/i> he fulfills his obligation, because even in the wording recited throughout the whole year, the word \u201cMelech<\/i>\u201d (King) is used (Rama<\/i> 118:1; Ben Ish Chai<\/i>, Nitzavim <\/i>19; Kaf HaChaim<\/i> 1). Other Sephardim<\/i> maintain that he does not fulfill his obligation because he did not recite the High Holy Days wording. Therefore, if he has not yet finished his Amidah<\/i>, he must return to Birkat<\/i> Hashivah Shofteinu<\/i>, conclude it appropriately, and continue from there until the end of the Amidah<\/i>. If he already finished reciting the Amidah<\/i>, he must pray again, while stipulating that if he was not obligated to repeat the prayer, the second prayer is considered voluntary (nedavah<\/i>) (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 118:1; Yechaveh Da\u2019at<\/i> 1:57).<\/p>\n
There are four other additions made during the Ten Days of Repentance: \u201cZochreinu<\/i>,\u201d \u201cMi Kamocha<\/i>,\u201d \u201cU\u2019chetov<\/i>,\u201d and \u201cB\u2019Sefer Chaim<\/i>.\u201d If any of them are forgotten, the Amidah<\/i> is not repeated (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 582:5).<\/p>\n
If a person accidentally recites Ya\u2019aleh V\u2019Yavo<\/i>, Zochreinu<\/i>, or Al HaNisim<\/i> on a regular weekday, he must go back to the beginning of the berachah<\/i>. If he already went on to the next berachah<\/i>, he continues despite his mistake.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
