Question
He committed to reciting Birkat Hamazon from the text, and in the middle of his blessing, he notices that the 'Al Ha-Nissim' part is missing from his bencher. Is it permissible to stop in the middle of Birkat Hamazon and write it on a paper to fulfill his commitment to recite everything from the text?
Answer
If his commitment has the status of a vow, it is permitted, but if it does not have the status of a vow, since it is not considered necessary for Birkat Hamazon, it is forbidden.
