Towards Better Davening and Torah Reading

The Missing Text (?)

On Shabbat Rosh Chodesh the middle (main) bracha of the Amida is special for the occasion. Instead of TIKANTA SHABBAT, we say, below the line, ATA YATZARTA. The final passage of this bracha seems to have unexpicably dropped a sentence that is in the bracha of a “plain” Shabbat, the part that begins with KAD’SHEINU B’MITZVOTECHA… Aruch HaShulchan expresses the opinion that there is no reason that section should not be said on Shabbat Rosh Chodesh; Rinat Yisrael and other siddurim have accordingly put the sentences back. Here is the “corrected” text of that final passage of the middle bracha for Musaf of Shabbat R"Ch. You might want to consult with your Rav before changing what you have been saying.

Yaaleh V’Yavo (YVY)

If one omits YVY in Maariv of R"Ch, he does not repeat the Amida. For Shacharit and Mincha, one must repeat the entire Amida.
If one realizes his omission and has not yet said Gd’s name in the end of the R’TZEI bracha, just go back to YVY and say from there.
After saying Gd’s name finish the bracha and say YVY before continuing with MODIM.

Once MODIM was begun, go back to R’TZEI and say from there.

If you realize your omission after finishing the Amida (saying YIHYU L’RATZON…), repeat the whole Amida. Remember: Shacharit and Mincha, but not Maariv.
Omission of YVY in Birkat HaMazon does NOT invalidate the benching. If you forget YVY, do not repeat. If you realize your omission before beginning the next bracha, there is a special bracha to say in lieu of YVY.
