Question
Hello Rabbi, this morning I prayed, unfortunately, part of the Amidah by heart. Suddenly, I heard myself saying "speedily in our days" and couldn't remember if I was in "Tishkon Betoch Yerushalayim" or "Laminim Velamalshinim," both of which end with "speedily in our days." I was almost sure (99%) that I was in "Tishkon Betoch Yerushalayim," so I continued with "Boneh Yerushalayim" until the end of the Amidah. After finishing the Amidah, I had doubts if I acted correctly. In this case, can I pray Tefillat Nedavah? And if so, do I need to innovate something in the Amidah? Thank you very much in advance.
Answer
Hello,
You acted correctly, as it seemed to you that this was the case.
It is permissible to pray Tefillat Nedavah to fulfill the obligation in case you missed something. In the prayer, you should innovate something, meaning to add a request in one of the blessings.
