Omissions and Errors in the Amida"},"content":{"rendered":"
The Men of the Great Assembly fixed the prayer formula as a single unit, incorporating all main requests, and meticulously established the order of the <\/span>berakhot<\/span><\/i> of the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i>, basing its structure on biblical verses (<\/span>Megilla<\/span><\/i> 17b). Therefore, one who skips one of the <\/span>berakhot<\/span><\/i> of the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> does not fulfill the mitzva of prayer. Even if she recites the full <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i>, but rearranges the order of the <\/span>berakhot<\/span><\/i>, she does not fulfill her obligation (SA 119:3).<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, one who errs in one of the <\/span>berakhot <\/span><\/i>in a way that ruins the essence of the <\/span>berakha<\/span><\/i> \u2013 for example, by not reciting the <\/span>berakha<\/span><\/i>\u2019s conclusion or by introducing something irrelevant, like a prayer for rain during the summer \u2013 is considered not to have recited that <\/span>berakha <\/span><\/i>at all (BHL 119:3). Likewise, one who forgets <\/span>Ya\u2019aleh Ve-yavo<\/span><\/i> on Rosh \u0124odesh or on a festival must repeat that <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> with<\/span> Ya\u2019aleh Ve-yavo<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n These laws are the same for men and women; any situation in which a man must repeat his prayer, a woman must as well. Likewise, a circumstance in which a man must return to the <\/span>berakha<\/span><\/i> in which he erred, a woman must too (as explained in the next section). Even when a woman errs in an <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> she was not obligated to pray, she must repeat the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> correctly. For example, if one who usually only prays <\/span>Sha\u0125arit<\/span><\/i> decides on a certain day to pray <\/span>Min\u0125a<\/span><\/i> too, but makes a mistake, she must repeat<\/span> <\/i>the<\/span> Min\u0125a Amida<\/span><\/i> correctly. Similarly, if one who normally prays <\/span>Sha\u0125arit<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Min\u0125a<\/span><\/i> decides one day to pray <\/span>Ma\u2019ariv<\/span><\/i> as well, but errs, she must repeat the <\/span>Ma\u2019ariv<\/span><\/i> Amida<\/span><\/i> correctly. Since she already began to pray, she must pray in the manner that the Sages prescribed and if she changes their formulations, she must repeat her prayer correctly.<\/span> 1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n The Men of the Great Assembly fixed the prayer formula as a single unit, incorporating all main requests, and meticulously established the order of the berakhot of the Amida, basing its structure on biblical verses (Megilla 17b).
