Editing Hallel (section)

==Types==
===Full Hallel===
'''Full Hallel''' ({{langx|he|הלל שלם|Hallel shalem|complete Hallel}}) consists of all six Psalms of the Hallel, in their entirety. It is a [[List of Jewish prayers and blessings|Jewish prayer]] recited on the first two nights and days of Pesach (only the first night and day in Israel), on Shavuot, all seven days of Sukkot, on [[Shemini Atzeret]] and [[Simchat Torah]], and on the eight days of Hanukkah. The sages have provided a "siman" (a way to remember) the days when full Hallel is recited. It is called "BeBeTaCh".<ref>Liadi, Zalman Siddur, "Seder Hallel"</ref>

A blessing is recited at the beginning and end of Full Hallel.

===Partial Hallel===
'''Partial Hallel''' ({{langx|he|חצי הלל|chatzi Hallel|half Hallel}}) omits parts of the Full Hallel: The first 11 verses of both Psalms 115 and 116 are omitted. In [[Yemenite Jews|Yemenite Jewish]] custom, additional passages are omitted: Psalm 117, and Psalm 118:1–4.<ref>See [[Mishneh Torah]], Hilchot Megillah 3:8</ref>

Partial Hallel is recited on the last six days of Pesach and on [[Rosh Chodesh]]. On these days Hallel was originally not recited at all, and the partial recitation indicates that it is only done by later custom rather than to fulfill a requirement.<ref>Taanit 28b</ref> Regarding Passover, the Talmud argues that Full Hallel is only recited on days when the [[Temple in Jerusalem|Temple]] sacrifice differed from the previous day's, while the sacrifice for all days of Passover was identical.<ref name=a10>Arachin 10a</ref> Other sources suggest a different reason: that Full Hallel is omitted on the seventh day of Passover in consideration of the Egyptians who died during the [[Crossing the Red Sea]], and omitted on the middle days of Passover so that they not overshadow the seventh day.<ref>[https://etzion.org.il/he/halakha/orach-chaim/prayer-and-blessings/%D7%94%D7%9C%D7%9C-%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%9D-%D7%95%D7%97%D7%A6%D7%99-%D7%94%D7%9C%D7%9C הלל שלם וחצי הלל]</ref> Regarding Rosh Chodesh, the Talmud states that Hallel is only required on days on which [[39 melachot|work is forbidden]], which is not the case on Rosh Chodesh.<ref name=a10/>

While [[Ashkenazi Jews]] recite a blessing at the beginning and end of Partial Hallel, some [[Sephardic Jews]] do not, and the few Sephardic communities that do recite a blessing on half Hallel (Moroccans and Spanish & Portuguese Jews, as well as some others) recite {{transliteration|he|likro et hahallel}} (to read the Hallel, as is always recited by contemporary Ashkenazim) on Half Hallel, as opposed to the blessing  {{transliteration|he|ligmor et hahallel}} (to complete the Hallel) that they recite on Full Hallel.<ref>Sidur Avotenu, [https://tablet.otzar.org/#/b/197626/p/678/t/1732177475554/fs/0/start/0/end/0/c/1732177493973 page 667] (link to Otzar Ha-chochmah, available by subscription only).</ref>
