Question

Hello Rabbi, what is considered a pause in a blessing? For example, a person prayed the Shemoneh Esrei and is used to praying by heart, not from a siddur. In one of the blessings, he said 'Baruch Atah Hashem' and forgot the ending. He had to quickly flip through and search for the ending. Did he lose the blessing?

Answer

Hello Rabbi,

Anything that is necessary for the prayer is not considered an interruption. He can continue as usual.
