Yaaleh Viyavo When Bentching
The following laws apply if you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo 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 the nighttime meal, go back to the beginning of bentching (even if you merely said the word “Boruch”). However, if it is during the daytime meal, do not go back.
The above also applies if you are unsure if you said Yaaleh Viyavo.
Tashlich
If no body of water with fish is available, tashlich may be said near any body of water.
If you did not say tashlich before shekiah, you may do so until nightfall.
If you will not be able to say tashlich after Minchah, you may do so beforehand.
If you were unable to say tashlich on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, do so on the second day. If you were unable to say tashlich on either day of Rosh Hashanah, do so during the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, and especially on 8 Tishrei.
Additions for the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah
If you said Hakel Hakadosh instead of Hamelech hakadosh and remembered your mistake immediately, say Hamelech hakadosh and continue with the next berachah. If you only remembered after the shiur of toch kedei dibbur or after beginning the next berachah, go back to the beginning of Shemoneh Esrei.
The above also applies if you are uncertain if you said Hakel hakadosh or Hamelech hakadosh.
