Hilchos Chanukah / Al Ha-nissim (b) – 6

1.One who forgets to recite al ha-nissimin Birkas Hamazon — although he does not return to that point — nevertheless, when he reaches Harachaman he should add the following: “May the Merciful perform for us miracles and wonders as You performed for our ancestors in those days at this time: In the days of Matisyahu, son of Yochanan…” etc. Similarly, if one forgot to recite al ha-nissim in Shemoneh Esrei, he should say that formula (“May the Merciful” etc.) at the conclusion of Shemoneh Esrei, before the words “Yihiyu l’ratzon,” as a supplication (Shulchan Aruch and Mishnah Berura, section 670)

 

2. When the Three-Faceted-Blessing (“Al Ha-michya” etc.) is recited on Chanukah, al ha-nissim is not mentioned at all. This is because the Rabbis enacted it to be said within a blessing of praise, and there is no clause of “Nodeh Lecha” in the Three-Faceted-Blessing. (ibid. and Eliyahu Rabbah)

“Moshe established for Yisrael, that they should inquire and teach the issue of the day, the halachos of Pesach on Pesach, the halachos of Atzeres on Atzeres, the halachos of chag on the chag” (Megilla 32)
