17. Fixing a blessing within Kdei Dibbur:[1]
If one concluded a blessing with the wrong words, then if the amount of time it takes to say Shalom to his Rebbe has yet to pass [which is the amount of time it takes to say the three words of “Shalom Alecha Rebbe”[2], which is 2-3 seconds[3]], then he is still able to correct himself with the correct wording.
