Question
When is the appropriate time to say the 'Yehi Ratzon' during the meal on the eve of Rosh Hashanah when eating the symbols?
Answer
The time for reciting the 'Yehi Ratzon' is before eating the symbol.
However, there are symbols that require a blessing before eating, such as an apple in honey or a date, which require the blessing 'Borei Pri Ha'etz', as they are not typically eaten during the meal for satiation. Therefore, for these items, one should first recite the blessing, eat a little, and then say the 'Yehi Ratzon', so as not to interrupt between the blessing and the eating.
If one mistakenly said the prayer between the blessing and the eating, they should eat the fruit, and there is no need to repeat the blessing.
