Question
A person prayed the Amidah and in the blessing of 'Chonen HaDa'at' mistakenly concluded with 'Mechaye HaMetim', but immediately corrected himself and said 'Baruch Ata Hashem, Chonen HaDa'at'. Then he continued the prayer for a few more blessings and again thought he had spoiled the blessing of 'Chonen HaDa'at' and returned to 'Ata Chonen'. Did he act correctly?
Answer
Shalom Rav
He did not act correctly.
A. One who corrects himself immediately should only say the words 'Chonen HaDa'at', and should not say 'Baruch Ata Hashem' again.
B. Since he already said 'Baruch Ata Hashem, Chonen HaDa'at', he fulfilled his obligation. He should not have returned after several blessings.
