Question
We had a Rosh Chodesh meal on Rosh Chodesh Tevet before sunset and continued it after sunset. During the meal, we lit Chanukah candles. Were we required to mention 'Yaaleh Veyavo' in the Birkat Hamazon, or since we lit candles, is it considered like praying Maariv in the middle of a meal, where one cannot say 'Yaaleh Veyavo' in the Birkat Hamazon?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permissible to say 'Yaaleh Veyavo'. Only Maariv is considered as if the next day has already begun, not everything else.
