Hallel is also recited on the night of the Passover as part of the family service, as it was in the days of the Temple (Pes.
Hallel is closed with this benediction: "O Lord, our God, may all Thy works praise Thee, and Thy saints who do Thy will, and all Thy people Israel, in glad song, bless and honor.
In the medieval period the folk-song of the day was reproduced in the Hallel, where the contemporary expression of joyousness always supplanted the older cantillatory intonations, as Ps.

 MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: Hallel Praising God
Hallel is recited on holidays and on the semi-festival of the new moon (Rosh Hodesh).
Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik--a preeminent 20th century Orthodox thinker--theorized that Hallel is another Amidah [the standing prayer that is central to Jewish liturgy], which explains why we must stand.
We conclude Hallel with a blessing that is not obligatory.

 Hallel - LoveToKnow 1911
a Mishnic derivative from 55, hillel, " to praise"), a term in synagogal liturgy for (a) Psalms cxiii.-cxviii., often called "the Egyptian Hallel" because of its recitation during the paschal meal on the night of the Passover, (b) Psalm cxxxvi.
It will be observed that the extent of the official Hallel varied from time to time.
From the 3rd century the use of the Hallel was extended to other occasions, and was gradually incorporated into the liturgy of eighteen festal days.

Thus, the mishna in Pesachim (95a) states that Hallel was recited on the occasion of the shechita of the korban Pesach, both on Pesach Rishon and on Pesach Sheni.
The division of Hallel into two parts does not change this fact because the split is part of the takana itself (of saying Hallel on Pesach night), and the meal in the middle is not an interruption.
In shul we recite Hallel in accordance with the beraita in Masekhet Soferim.

 Hallel - "Praise of G-d" - OU.ORG   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Hallel is not said at all, because as the Talmud explains in Masechet Arachin 10b, "Is it seemly for the king to be sitting on His Throne of Judgment, with the Books of Life and Death open before Him, and for the people to sing joyful praises to him?"
Full Hallel, that is, all six Psalms, in their entirety, is recited on all nine days of Sukkot (including the "eighth" and "ninth" days, Shmini Atzeret and Simchat Torah), on Shavuot, on the first two days of Pesach, and on Chanukah.
No Hallel, neither Full nor Partial, is recited on Purim, despite the fact that there occurred at that time a miraculous salvation, albeit by a "hidden" miracle, aided by the valiant actions of Mordechai and Esther, from a premeditated full-scale attack on the Jewish People, by Haman and his cohorts, for several reasons.

 Rabbi's Corner: Hallel
Interestingly, these psalms 113-118, sometimes called the Hallel of Mitzrayim, the Hallel of Egypt, were also added to the Hanukah service, but not to Purim, which had instead the reading of the book of Esther.
The Hallel, like the Bircat Hamazon, the Grace after meals, was sufficiently important that the Rabbis felt that every male Jew should be able to read it.
The Talmud records the introduction of Hallel on Rosh Hodesh, as an innovation of the Babylonian Rabbis in the second century.

Likewise, if the reason for saying Hallel with a minyan is only to enhance the mitzva by doing it as a group, and shaking the lulav is essential to the mitzva - one should obviously prefer saying Hallel with a lulav over saying it with a minyan.
The mitzva of Hallel is certainly more frequent than lulav, but the mishnayot in Zevachim on the subject of precedence rule that frequency is only preferred when the two mitzvot in conflict are of equal importance.
Hallel is a rabbinic mitzva (according to the Rambam; the Behag disagrees).

 Hallel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hallel consists of six Psalms (113-118), which are said as a unit, on joyous occasions.
Partial Hallel is recited on Rosh Chodesh, because it was introduced at a much later time than the major holidays and because we have Rosh Chodesh every month and the other holidays are only once a year.
Hallel is said in one of two forms: Full Hallel and Partial Hallel.

 Hallel on Yom Ha'atzmaut -- Rav Shlomo Aviner
Hallel is said on Pesach, although this was also outside Israel, but this was before we had even arrived in Israel at all.
If so, it is apparently not possible to say Hallel with a beracha except for a miracle which occurred for the entire nation and not only for the inhabitants of Zion.
Rav Shlomo Goren proves this (in the articles on reading Hallel on Yom Ha'atzmaut, in the book of halachot for Yom Ha'atzmaut and Yom Yerushalayim, page 146) from "A matter which is overlooked by a community": if the Sanhedrin gave a mistaken instruction and the community follows them, they must bring a sacrifice.

 The Hallel Psalms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
According to Rabbinic sources, Psalms 113‑118 form the Hallel, the Hymns of Praise, which were to be sung at the three great Festivals of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles, as well as at the Festival of the Dedication and at the New Moons.
At a domestic celebration of the Passover, Psalms 113 and 114 would be sung before the meal, and Psalms 115‑‑118 after it, when the fourth cup had been filled.
The Hebrew psalm (which would have been used in the Passover meal) ends the praise section with “Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.” Having sung that Jesus and His disciples went out into the Garden of Gethsemane to watch and pray--and await the fulfillment of their hymn.

 Rabbi Mordechai Willig - The Hallel of Purim, Pesach, and the Final Redemption   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
The Chasam Sofer writes that Hallel on Chanukah is a Torah obligation, as evidenced from the Gemara which derives the mitzva to say Hallel from Shiras Hayam.
Our ancestors recited Hallel when the sea split because at that point Hallel was a Torah obligation which had to be discharged even though our enemies dies on that day.
And so the Shira, which is like full Hallel, was said when the sea was split, and full Hallel is said every year on the first night of Pesach but not on the seventh day.

 Shaking the Lulav -- Darche Noam Institutions
Common practice is to move the lulav in 6 directions both before and during Hallel.
Shaking the lulav in Hallel, says the Tosafot, is based on the verse, “All of the trees of the forest will then sing out before G-d” (Divrei Hayamim 16:33).
During Hallel we shake the lulav to counter the forces of evil and do not require moving the lulav in the four directions and up and down.

 The Egyptian Hallel
The Egyptian Hallel is the name given to Psalms 113 - 118, which are all psalms of praise and thanksgiving.
It is called The Egyptian Hallel, because Psalm 114 refers to the exodus from Egypt and begins with the words: "When Israel went out of Egypt." It’s believed these songs were chanted in the temple while the Passover lambs were being slain and on other festival occasions.
This was probably the hymn sung by Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper (Mat 26:30; Mar 14:26).
