Mistake in Bowing During Prayer
Question
Hi, today during the Mincha prayer, in the part where we bow, I accidentally bowed in the part related to idols and also in the part where we bow to Hashem.
I am quite new to reading the Mincha prayer and feel bad about making such a mistake. What can be done?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Since the bowing in the first part was not with the intention to bow to idols or honor them, but was merely a mistake, it has no significance.
Blessed are you for starting to pray the Mincha prayer, and may it be His will that all your prayers be accepted favorably.
