Required components in the blessing of Ge'ula
The text of the final blessing of
Birchos K'riyas Shema (
Ge'ula) must include four components: the Kingship of Hashem,
yetziyas mitzrayim,
k'riyas yam suf, and
makkas bechoros. Some
poskim require one to repeat the blessing if the words describing any of these topics were skipped; it is questionable if this applies to
makkas bechoros. If the evening blessing was substituted for the final morning blessing, or vice versa, it is valid; but if one realized before completing the blessing, he should begin anew with the correct blessing.

When it is necessary to wait for interruptions before completing the blessing of Ge'ula
If one is reciting the final blessing of
Birchos K'riyas Shema and the
sh'liyach tzibbur will soon reach a
davar sheb'kdusha (
bar'chu,
kaddish, or
kedusha which need to be responded to even
b'emtza haperek), he should delay beginning
Shemoneh Esrei and pause near the end of the blessing before the words, "
shira chadasha shib'chu ge'ulim" in order to respond appropriately. If he already answered these responses previously, or will be able to respond to another
sh'liyach tzibbur after he completes his
Shemoneh Esrei, he need not wait and may begin
Shemoneh Esrei. There is dispute among the
poskim whether one needs to wait for
kaddish if he already responded previously.

Interrupting between Ge'ula and Tefilla
One may not interrupt between
Ge'ula and
Tefilla, even to respond to a
davar sheb'kdusha, but he may pause in silence and listen. On
Shabbos, he may respond to a
davar sheb'kdusha. If he was unable to don his
tallis previously, he may not don it then and should pray without it.

- The blessing of Ge'ula must be juxtaposed to Tefilla. The single permitted interruption is donning tefillin when one was unable to do so earlier.
- It is preferable that the entire congregation finish the blessing "Go'al Yisroel" in unison. In many congregations the Sh'liyach Tzibbur recites the ending quietly; there is debate among the poskim whether this is proper.
- The ending of the blessing Ge'ula in Birchos K'riyas Shema is past tense "go'al yisroel" because it refers to the redemption from Egypt.

- How to fulfill the obligation to remember yetziyas mitzrayim
- Reciting Birchos K'riyas Shema when in doubt whether it was already recited
