Yaaleh Viyavo When Bentching

Yaaleh Viyavo When Bentching

The following laws apply if you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo on Yom Tov when bentching:

• If you remembered before saying Hashem’s name at the end of the berachah, go back and say Yaaleh Viyavo.
• If you remembered after saying Hashem’s name but before beginning the berachah of Hatov Vehameitiv, say the nusach printed in the siddur or bentcher.
• If you only remembered after beginning the berachah of Hatov Vehameitiv, if it is during one of the first two Yom Tov meals (the night meal or first day meal), go back to the beginning of bentching (even if you merely said the word “Boruch”). However, if it is during seudah shelishis, do not go back.
