# Because Shemini Aseret is a separate holiday, if during the Shemini Aseret [[prayers]], a person mistakenly said in the "ata bichartanu" section "et yom chag hasukkot hazeh" instead of "et yom shemini chag aseret zeh", and he continued praying the proper yom tov [[prayer]], and did not realize his error until the middle of the beracha of "ritzeh", or even after "sim shalom", or even in the middle of "elokay netzor", one must return to "ata bichartanu" and correct one's mistake. <ref> Chazon Ovadia [[Sukkot]] 451-454 </ref> | |||

# If one is unsure as to whther he said the correct version of the amida, one should ideally stipulate the following: "if I am obligated to repeat the amidah over again, then I am doing so as I am supposed to. And if I am not obligated to, then this repetition of the amidah should be considered a "voluntary [[prayer]]". | |||
# It makes no difference for our purposes if one actually knew it was Shemini Aseret and just mistakenly said the wrong words, or if the cause of his error was that he did not know that it was Shemini Aseret. In all of these cases if he did not mention Shemini Aseret correctly, he must repeat the amidah. (Chazon Ovadia [[Sukkot]] 451-454. See there where Hacham Ovadia quotes many who agree with him among them Maran Hachida, Rav Chaim Palaggi, Ma'amar Mordechai, Maharsham in the name of Rav Akiva Eiger, S'deh Chemed, Shoel Umeshiv, and Rav Moshe Feinstein, and some who disagree, among them the Kaf Hachaim Sofer, Chayeh Adam, Bet Yehudah Ayash, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, and the Tzitz Eliezer, but it seems from there that majority of the Acharonim say like this, for both Sepharadim and Ashkenazim.) | |||
