Question
Remembered during the Amidah that he did not recite Birkat Hamazon, and by the time he finishes the Amidah, the time for digestion will have passed. How should he act?
Answer
He should not interrupt the Amidah to recite Birkat Hamazon, even though Birkat Hamazon is a Torah obligation, because one who is engaged in a mitzvah is exempt from another mitzvah.
