<b>Blessed are You, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. The great, strong, and awesome God, the God Who is high and</b> rules over everything, <b>the God Who does good acts of kindness, Who creates everything, Who remembers the kindness</b> and good things the Patriarchs did, <b>and Who brings a redeemer</b> to redeem <b>their descendants</b> from exile. Even if we do not deserve it, God will lovingly redeem us from exile <b>for the sake of His name</b>—so that everyone will recognize that He is a good and kind God.
On the Shabbat before Yom Kippur, add the following. If omitted, it is not necessary to return or repeat the Amidah.

During the northern winter (between Shemini Atzeret and the first day of Pesach), say מַשִּׁיב הָרוּחַ וּמוֹרִיד הַגֶּשֶׁם.

If you said מוֹרִיד הַטָּל during the winter, it is not necessary to go back and correct the error. If you said מַשִּׁיב הָרוּחַ וּמוֹרִיד הַגֶּשֶׁם during the summer and realized the mistake before completing the blessing, return to the beginning of the blessing. If you realized the mistake after saying God's name at the end of the blessing, begin the Amidah again.
