Al Hanissim on Chanukah: Difference between revisions

#If on [[Shabbat]] one forgot ritze and is therefore going to repeat [[birkat hamazon]] but also forgot al hanissim which normally doesn't require repeating [[birkat hamazon]], some poskim say to now say al hanissim in the repetition <ref> Magen Avraham 188:13 and Shulchan Aruch HaRav 188:4 </ref> while others say to leave it out. <ref>Chayei Adam Klal 154:39 and Sha'ar HaTziyun 188:21 </ref>

#If he forgot in [[Birkat HaMazon]] then in the section of Harachamans he should add  

and then recite the biymei matityahu particular for [[chanuka]]. <ref> Rama 187:4 and 682:1 based on Kol Bo 25, Aruch Hashulchan 682:3, Yalkut Yosef Moadim 240 </ref> and if it is [[Rosh Chodesh]] Tevet, then the harachaman for [[rosh chodesh]] should be recited first. <ref> Mishna Brurah 682:5 because whatever is recited more often should be recited first. (tadir vishayno tadir, tadir kodem) </ref>  

#If he forgot in the shemoneh esrei he can still recite it before the second yihyu liratzon at the end of the shemoneh esrei. <ref> Mishna Brurah 682:4, Aruch Hashulchan 682:3. Yalkut Yosef Moadim 239 says that you should say there modim ananchnu lach al hanissim ... based on the eliya rabba 682:2 and Maamar Mordechai 682:3. </ref>

#If one mistakenly recited al hanissim in the avoda beracha where [[Yaaleh VeYavo]] is usually recited he should recite it again after modim, but if he didn't realize until after that he shouldn't go back. <ref> Yalkut Yosef Moadim 239. Rav Shlomo Kluger in Chochmat Shlomo 108:12 disagrees however, and says that if he finished the shemoneh esrei, the inappropriate recital of al hanissim during the avoda beracha is considered a [[hefsek]], and he should go back and say it again. </ref>  

#If one mistakenly said biymei mordechai viesther (the passage we recite for al hanissim on [[purim]]) instead of biymei matityahu he has still fulfilled his obligation. <ref> Yabia Omer 4:51:4 </ref>

==Text==

#The correct language is vi'al hanissim, but if you do say just al hanissim it is ok also. <ref> Mishna Brurah 682:1, Aruch Hashulchan 682:1, Yalkut Yosef on the Moadim page 238 all explain that this is because it is a continuation of the thanks we give G-d in modim. </ref>
