It's an appropriate shevach.
So maybe Baruch Sheim, which, what is Baruch Sheim there to do?
It's to create a shevach because of the lack of shevach that you created by saying a bracha levatala.
But maybe the chepta shel bracha is a shevach in this case, because it is not really a
a bracha levatal it's not really a bracha shein tzrich it's just a bracha he shouldn't have made and maybe you therefore don't require a shevach one raya might be in the back of the aradea an onen says that if you become an onen in the middle of a bracha what should you do
You're smack in the middle of a bracha, and then as a person's in the middle of saying the bracha, they say, oh, by the way, mom just died, or whatever.
Right?
So what do you do in that situation?
So Rabbi Zalmer says, you finish the bracha.
Why should you finish the bracha?
It's Elamai, apparently, he quotes the Birkei Yosef, who asks why, but he says, apparently, that you do.
So it must be that it is some chepta shal bracha that you have.
Another Raya, he quotes over there, is that an Onein who accidentally made Havdalah on Matzoi Shabbos doesn't need to repeat Havdalah after the Kavura.
A lot of people have the practice, they know that somebody is very close to the end in their family, they don't open their phones until they say Havdalah.
Because once you say Havdalah, then they're going to be in Aninos, then it's a whole shayla about Havdalah and what to do and when to do.
So they say Havdalah first, and then they know that they were Yotzei.
And then they open their phones and then they'll... Isaac Rice told me he did that when his father, Zichron L'Vracha, passed away.
And final point, Rebbe Kiva Eger in Ar Chayim, on Shulchan Aruch, Ar Chayim, Simenayim Aleph, says that a Megillah may push off, Kriya Sam Megillah pushes off Aninos, might push off Aninos because it's more important, so you should hear the Megillah as an Onayim, but then still hear it again afterwards, since you may not have been Yotzeh.
So Rabbi Kiva Eger learns from that Magan Avram that for anything else, you're definitely not Yotze.
So maybe a bracha made as an Onein is not a bracha.
