Question
He accepted upon himself to recite Birkat HaMazon from a written text, and in the middle of his blessing he sees that the "Al HaNissim" section is missing from his bencher. Is it permissible to stop in the middle of Birkat HaMazon and write it on a piece of paper in order to fulfill his commitment and recite everything from a written text?
Answer
If his acceptance has the status of a neder (vow), it is permitted; and if it does not have the status of a neder, then since this is not considered a need of Birkat HaMazon itself, it is forbidden.
