Forgot to Recite Havdalah on the Night of Yom Tov
Question
I live outside of Israel. On Saturday night, which was the night of the second day of Yom Tov of Sukkot, I forgot to recite Havdalah within Kiddush, and I remembered only after the blessing of Hamotzi. Must I recite the blessing of “Borei Pri HaGafen” again, or should I say only the blessing of Havdalah?
Answer
Shalom u’vrachah
You must recite Havdalah over a cup of wine.
Regarding the blessing of “HaGafen”: if you had in mind to drink wine during the meal, you do not need to recite “HaGafen” again; but if you did not have in mind to drink wine during the meal, you must recite HaGafen again.
