Mistake in Shabbat Prayer
Question
Hello,
A person during one of the Shabbat prayers, after "הקל הקדוש", began the blessing "אתה חונן",
and realized this during the blessing before the conclusion,
how should he proceed?
Answer
Hello
A person who began the blessing 'אתה חונן' on Shabbat, if he remembered that it is Shabbat and only made a slip of the tongue - if he said only the word 'אתה', he returns to the Shabbat blessing. If he said 'אתה חונן', he completes the blessing he started, and then begins the Shabbat blessing.
If he mistakenly thought he should say a weekday blessing, even if he only said the word 'אתה', he continues and completes the blessing.
This ruling applies not only to the blessing of אתה חונן, but also if he continued and said another blessing, for example, he said 'השיבנו', he continues and completes the entire blessing.
