Listen "Taanis 28b: Should You Say a Bracha on Chatzi Hallel?"
Episode Synopsis
Is the bracha on Chatzi Hallel based on it being a real obligation or just a minhag? We explore the machlokes between the Rambam, Rif, and Rabbeinu Tam: Is a bracha said only with a tzibur, or even by a yachid? Is there no bracha at all because it’s just a minhag? We’ll clarify the psak of the Shulchan Aruch and Rama, explain what Ashkenazim and Sephardim do, and discuss what to do if you’re in the middle of Pesukei D’zimra when the tzibur starts Hallel. All based on the sugya in OC 422.
