If one mistakenly began the morning Yotzer blessing with 'Ma'ariv Aravim' (the evening blessing formula) but immediately corrected and said 'Yotzer Ohr' and concluded with 'Yotzer HaMeorot' — has one fulfilled the obligation?
Synopsis
If one began with the wrong formula but corrected immediately (within 'toch k'dei dibbur') and concluded properly, most authorities hold one has fulfilled the obligation. Dispute exists over how late in the blessing one can correct.
