I bentch using a regular Ashkenaz bentcher. In most of them, the word after “Rachem” is Na but it’s in parenthesis. I think I’ve also seen the word omitted occasionally.

I see the Shulchan Aruch 188:4 brings the Nusach as Rachem, without any Yesh Omrim, nor does the Rema comment. Where are sources that say to add the word Na?

    To your title, usually parentheses in siddurim mean the word is omitted by some.

  • The Kabbalists believe it has special sanctity and therefore shtipped it in (as per the ArtScroll book on Birkat Hamazon) Jan 29 at 19:06
