Forgot 'Al HaNissim' on Hanukkah
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I recited Birkat Hamazon and forgot to add 'Al HaNissim'. Do I need to repeat the blessing?
Answer
Hello and Happy Hanukkah!
One who forgets 'Al HaNissim' in Birkat Hamazon does not go back. It can be added after the fourth blessing: 'May the Merciful One perform miracles for us as He did for our forefathers in those days at this time' and recite the text 'In the days of Mattityahu' as a request, not as a thanksgiving.
