Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em>"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Sages instituted a special passage to be inserted into Birkat Ha-mazon <\/em>on Shabbat: \u201cRetzei Ve-ha\u0125alitzenu<\/em>\u201d (\u201cFavor and strengthen us\u201d). In it we ask that our Shabbat rest and our fulfillment of Shabbat mitzvot<\/em> find favor with God, and that God allow us to keep Shabbat with no sorrow or anguish. Since this is a petition, the Sages ordained that it be recited during the third berakha<\/em>, which is also petitionary. In order to return us to the topic of this berakha<\/em>, the added prayer ends with a request about Jerusalem and the redemption. We then return to the paragraph of \u201cU-venei Yerushalayim<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

One who forgot to recite Retzei<\/em> but remembered before beginning the next berakha<\/em> (Ha-tov Ve-hametiv<\/em>) must add the following prayer: \u201cBlessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who lovingly gave Shabbatot<\/em> for rest to His people Israel to serve as a sign and a covenant. Blessed are You, Lord, Who sanctifies Shabbat.\u201d One then continues with Ha-tov Ve-hametiv<\/em>. If he realized that he forgot Retzei<\/em> after he had already begun Ha-tov Ve-hametiv<\/em>, he must repeat Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em> from the beginning. For the Sages required that Shabbat be mentioned in Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em>. Thus if he did not mention Shabbat, he did not fulfill his obligation (SA 188:6).[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

All of this pertains to the first two Shabbat meals, when all agree that one is required to eat bread and therefore required to recite Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em>. However, if one forgot to mention Shabbat in Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em> at se\u2019uda shlishit<\/em> he does not repeat it, since be-di\u2019avad<\/em> that meal can consist of mezonot<\/em>, so he is not obligated to recite Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em>. Therefore, if he forgot Retzei<\/em>, he does not repeat Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em>. This is also the case regarding the insertion of Ya\u2019aleh Ve-yavo<\/em> on Rosh \u0124odesh or \u0124ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em>: Since one is not obligated to eat bread then, he does not repeat Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em> (SA 188:8).[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

If one began to eat se\u2019uda shlishit<\/em> before shki\u2019a<\/em> and finished after tzeit<\/em>, he says Retzei<\/em>, since we follow the starting time of the meal. If Rosh \u0124odesh falls out on Saturday night, there is a serious doubt as to what he should mention in Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em>. In order to avoid this situation, it is best to avoid eating bread after tzeit<\/em>. That way it is certain that he should recite Retzei<\/em> only.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

[5]<\/a>. According to \u0124ayei Adam<\/em> 47:18, even if one began the berakha<\/em> following Retzei <\/em>and said \u201cBlessed are you, O God, King of the universe\u201d with the intention of continuing \u201cHa-tov Ve-hametiv<\/em>,\u201d he may correct himself and continue with \u201cWho gave Shabbatot<\/em>\u2026\u201d However, according to most A\u0125aronim, even if he only said the first word of the berakha<\/em>, he is already required to repeat Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em>, since this shows that he has forgotten about the special Shabbat request. In practice, the ruling in BHL inclines toward stringency and requires that he repeat. Ben Ish \u0124ai<\/em>, Year 1, \u0124ukat 20 states similarly. However, Kaf Ha-<\/em> \u0125ayim<\/em> 188:28 and Yabi\u2019a Omer<\/em> 6:28 side with \u0124ayei Adam<\/em>.<\/p>\n

[6]<\/a>. However, according to Ben Ish \u0124ai<\/em>, Year 1, \u0124ukat 20 and 22, if one recited Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em> before tzeit<\/em> and forgot Retzei<\/em>, he must repeat Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em> even at se\u2019uda shlishit<\/em>. This is because on a mystical plane there is no difference between se\u2019uda shlishit<\/em> and the rest of the Shabbat meals. In practice, I recorded the opinion of SA and most poskim<\/em> that one does not repeat.<\/p>\n

[7]<\/a>. If one continued eating bread after tzeit<\/em>, then it would seem that he should recite Retzei<\/em> based on when the meal began; in contrast, he should recite Ya\u2019aleh Ve-yavo <\/em>based on when the meal ended. Poskim<\/em> disagree about what to do in this case: many feel that if one ate bread after tzeit<\/em>, he must recite Ya\u2019aleh Ve-yavo<\/em> but not Retzei<\/em>. Thus state MB 188:33 and Yaskil Avdi<\/em>, O\u0124 7:27. But according to Ben Ish \u0124ai<\/em>, Year 1, \u0124ukat 22 and Yalkut Yosef<\/em> 291:18, since he did not make havdala<\/em> and he began the meal on Shabbat, he should recite Retzei<\/em> and not Ya\u2019aleh Ve-yavo<\/em>. According to Taz<\/em> 188:7, if he recites Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em> after tzeit<\/em> he should mention both Shabbat and Rosh \u0124odesh<\/em>. This is also the opinion of Magen Giborim<\/em> and Bigdei Yesha<\/em>. (Therefore, le-khat\u0125ila<\/em> one should recite Birkat Ha-mazon<\/em> before tzeit<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
