Hosafos: Bentching

Bentching

The one leading the bentching raises his voice when saying the words zachreinu Hashem Elokeinu bo letovah, u’fakdeinu vo levrachah, vehoshi’einu vo lechaim tovim, and those listening answer amen after each phrase. However, if they are in the middle of bentching as well, they may only answer if they are between berachos.

If you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo and remembered after saying Hashem’s name at the end of the berachah but before starting the berachah of Hatov Vehameitiv, say the added paragraph for Rosh Chodesh printed in the bentcher or siddur. If you remembered after starting that berachah, do not go back.
