Full Hallel is recited. When reciting Hallel, one may not interrupt it – other than for those things that one may respond to during the Brochos of Krias Shema. [I.e. If the Chazzan recites Kedushah, one responds Kodosh, Boruch and Yimloch. When the Chazzan says HaE-l Hakodosh, one answers Omein. When the Chazzan says Modim, one answers the three words Modim Anachnu Loch. When the Chazzan recites Kaddish, one answers Omein Yehei Shmei etc, and Omein to d’amiran b’olmo. One also answers Borchu and Omein when the Brochos are recited before and after an Aliyah or Haftorah.]
It is preferable to recite Hallel with the Minyan. If one is not up to the Minyan, this creates a dilemma; on the one hand it is appropriate to recite Hallel with the congregation, and on the other hand, it is appropriate that one davens in the correct order. For this reason, the Rebbeim were always punctilious about being up to Hallel when the Minyan recited it on Yom Tov.
If one forgot to recite Hallel, he should recite it with a Brocho as soon as he remembers, until Tzeis Hakochavim.
If one mistakenly recited half-Hallel, he must repeat the entire Hallel (without a Brocho).
During Hallel, the Na’anuim are performed as described earlier, at the following places:
- At the first Hoidu; one direction per word, besides the word Hashem.
- At each “Anna Hashem Hoshiah Nah”; two directions per word, besides the word Hashem.
- At the last Hoidu, the first time that it is recited; one direction per word, besides the word Hashem.
In general, the Rebbe would hold the Lulav for the entire Hallel and pick up the Esrog only for the Na’anuim.
