Question
What is the ruling if one forgets 'Mashiv HaRuach U'Morid HaGeshem' and finishes the blessing of 'Mechaye HaMetim'?
Answer
If one forgets 'Mashiv HaRuach' and finishes the blessing of 'Mechaye HaMetim', they should continue as usual and not say 'Mashiv HaRuach' before proceeding. [Unlike how it is done in certain other cases]. To clarify the issue: there is a dispute among the early authorities if one has not yet begun the next blessing, whether it is considered that they are still in the previous blessing or not, and the law is decided that it is indeed considered. However, this applies to cases where, upon forgetting to say, one returns and prays again [such as 'Yaale VeYavo' in all holiday prayers and in Rosh Chodesh during Shacharit and Mincha], but when there is no need to return and pray again [such as if one forgets to say 'Yaale VeYavo' in the evening prayer of Rosh Chodesh, or in this case 'Mashiv HaRuach'], 'Mashiv HaRuach' should not be said after the conclusion, and therefore one continues as usual.
