Daily Halacha – Laws of Prayer, 6 Cheshvan 5778

How should one proceed if they erred in the evening prayer of the 7th of Cheshvan and said "Bless us" instead of "Bless upon us"?

If one erred and did not ask for dew and rain in the evening prayer of the 7th of Cheshvan - if he remembered before reaching "Shomea Tefillah" (One who hears prayer), he should ask for dew and rain there. If he already began "Retzeh," he should return to the blessing of the year. And if he completed his prayer and then remembered that he did not ask for dew and rain, he should repeat the prayer conditionally as a voluntary prayer. [Yalkut Yosef, Chapter 117].

How should one proceed if they are uncertain whether they said "Bless us" or "Bless upon us"?

One who is uncertain whether they asked for dew and rain in their prayer or not, if they realize this doubt before the blessing of "Shema Koleinu" (Hear our voice), they should ask for dew and rain in "Shomea Tefillah." If they realize this after beginning "Retzeh," and it is within thirty days from the day we begin asking for dew and rain, they should return to the blessing of "Barech Aleinu" [ibid].
