One who mistakenly invokes rain in the summer must go back and correct her mistake, since there is no praise in mentioning rain at that time. If she did not yet finish the <\/span>berakha<\/span><\/i>, she goes back to the beginning of it and says \u201c<\/span>Morid ha-tal<\/span><\/i>,\u201d as should be recited in the summer. If she already finished the <\/span>berakha<\/span><\/i>, she must start the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> over from the beginning in order to recite it properly (SA 114:4).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n One who mistakenly did not invoke rain in the winter but instead invoked dew as though it was summer need not repeat it since she invoked praise that relates to water. However, if she did not mention dew either, she must repeat the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i>, since she omitted such important words of praise (<\/span>ibid. <\/span><\/i>5).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n One who mistakenly <\/span>requests<\/b> rain in the summer: since she made an inappropriate request in <\/span>Birkat Ha-shanim<\/span><\/i>, she must go back and correct it. Therefore, if she did not finish her <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> yet, she returns to <\/span>Birkat Ha-shanim<\/span><\/i>, recites it properly, and continues in order from there until the end of the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i>. If she already finished the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i>, she repeats the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> properly from the beginning (<\/span>ibid. <\/span><\/i>117:3).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If, by mistake, one <\/span>did not request<\/b> rain in the winter, it depends how much of the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> she already recited. If she did not yet reach <\/span>Shome\u2019a Tefila<\/span><\/i>, she continues her prayer and when she arrives at <\/span>Shome\u2019a Tefila<\/span><\/i>, in which one may make any request, she requests rain, thereby correcting her mistake. However, if she already passed <\/span>Shome\u2019a Tefila<\/span><\/i>, she must return to <\/span>Birkat Ha-shanim<\/span><\/i>, recite it in accordance with the <\/span>halakha<\/span><\/i>, and then continue in the proper order, repeating all of the <\/span>berakhot <\/span><\/i>that come after <\/span>Birkat Ha-shanim<\/span><\/i>. If she already finished the <\/span>Amida<\/span><\/i> and was about to take three steps back, her prayer is considered lacking since she did not request rain, and it must be repeated properly in its entirety (<\/span>ibid. <\/span><\/i>4-5).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One who mistakenly invokes rain in the summer must go back and correct her mistake, since there is no praise in mentioning rain at that time.
