Question
What is the ruling if one forgot to say 'Veten Tal Umatar' and already started 'Retze'?
Answer
Forgot to say 'Veten Tal Umatar' and already started 'Retze': If one remembers that they did not say 'Veten Tal Umatar' after beginning the blessing of 'Retze', they should return to the blessing of 'Barech Aleinu'. This ruling applies until they have completed the final 'Yihyu L'ratzon' before 'Oseh Shalom', or alternatively, until they have not yet completed their supplications after 'Yihyu L'ratzon'. If they have already completed their prayer and supplications, even if they have not yet stepped back at the end of the prayer, they must return to the beginning of the prayer. If they have not yet completed their prayer and instead of returning to the blessing of 'Barech Aleinu', they returned to 'Shma Koleinu', there is doubt whether they have fulfilled their obligation.
