Halocho #255 - Tonight is Rosh Chodesh Shvat

During the Amida and Birkat Hamazon on Rosh Chodesh one should add Ya'aleh Veyavo.

If one forgot to do so during the Amida at night one does not need to make amends. During the day one needs to go back to רצה.

If one forgot Ya'aleh Veyavo during Birkat Hamazon (during the day or night), and one remembers before starting the last Bracha, one can say:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם

אֲשֶׁר נָתַן רָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְזִכָּרוֹן

If one forgot after starting the last Bracha, or one does have the above Bracha handy, one does not need to make amends.
