Question
He remembered in the middle of the Amidah that he had not recited Birkat Hamazon, and by the time he finishes the Amidah the time limit for digestion will already have passed. How should he act?
Answer
He should not interrupt in the middle of the Amidah to recite Birkat Hamazon, and even though Birkat Hamazon is a Biblical obligation, since he is engaged in one mitzvah he is exempt from the other mitzvah.
