Benching After Maariv on Motzaei Shabbat
Question
This Motzaei Shabbat, I went to Shul, Davened Maariv and then realized that I forgot to bench...
Since I said Ata Chonantanu by Maariv, do I say Retzei by benching or not?
Answer
The Mishna Brura 188:32 writes in the name of Achronim that if someone davened Maariv before Birkat Hamazon, he doesn't say Retzei in Birkat Hamazon.
