Realizing I forgot Mashiv haRuach/Yaaleh v'Yavo

Good morning,

In the second berachah of the amidah, one who starts "Baruch atah HaShem" and then, before "mechayeh hameitim" realizes he forgot Mashiv haRuach uMorid haGeshem, should finish the berachah and then go back.

Similarly, in the berachah of Retzeh in the amidah, one who starts "Baruch atah HaShem" and then, before "hamachazir shechinato" realizes he forgot Yaaleh v'Yavo, should finish the berachah and then go back.

Concluding the berachah with "lamdeini chukecha" would be inappropriate during the amidah, and leaving it as just "Baruch atah HaShem" would also be inappropriate.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:93)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
