Forgot 'Veten Tal U'Matar' on Saturday Night

Question

Forgot to mention 'Veten Tal U'Matar' in the Maariv prayer on Saturday night. When repeating, does he need to say 'Ata Chonantanu' again?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

One who forgot on Saturday night does not need to say 'Ata Chonantanu' again, since it was already recited in the first prayer. Even though he must repeat the prayer, the first prayer is not considered nullified.
