Halocho #1195 - Ask for rain

In Israel, starting this this evening - Thursday evening - (7th Marcheshvan) we start praying for rain in the 9th Bracha of the weekday Amida - Barech-Aleinu - ברך עלינו.
In the Diaspora we will start 7 weeks later - on Wednesday evening; the 8th night of Chanuka (5 Dec).

If you forgot to add "ותן טל ומטר לברכה" - "and bless us with dew and rain", then:

 - If you remember before you finish the 9th Bracha, then you insert it and continue from there.

 - If you already said "Baruch Ata Hashem" of the 9th Bracha, then you insert it into Shma-Kolienu - the 16th Bracha - before "Ki Ata".

 - If you forget to say it in Shma-Kolienu then you need to go back to the 9th Bracha - Barech-Aleinu.

 - If you didn't remember until you finished the Amida (defined as saying "Yihyu L'ratzon") then you have to restart the entire Amida.
