Mistake in Blessing Text but Idea is Present
Question
Hello,
If a person makes a mistake in a blessing, but the idea of the blessing is similar — for example, instead of "who gave us the true Torah and planted eternal life within us," says "who gave us His Torah and planted eternal life within us" — is this considered a blessing in vain?
Answer
Hello
If the essence of the blessing is understood from the wording, it is valid.
