On Rosh Chodesh or Chol Hamoed, add the following. On Rosh Chodesh, if omitted and God's name at the end of the blessing has already been said, it is not necessary to return or repeat the Amidah. On Chol Hamoed, if omitted and the word מודים has not been said, say this paragraph then. If the word מודים has already been said, go back to the paragraph of רְצֵה and continue from there. If the Amidah has already been concluded, it must be repeated.
