Festive Hallel (Transliteration)

Hallel

Hallel literally means “praise of the Almighty.” It is a collection of Psalms recited on the Festivals. The Sages of the Great Assembly (4th century BCE) ordained that Hallel be recited on the Festivals: Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot, and Shemini Atzeret. Hallel is not recited on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur, since these are days of awe before the Almighty, and the nature of these days does not correspond to Hallel’s festive mood. They also did not include Rosh Chodesh among the days on which Hallel is recited, because work is permitted on that day, and thus it is not a Festival in the fullest sense of the word. During the Talmudic era (4th–5th centuries CE), the custom was established of reciting Hallel on Rosh Chodesh as well. However, to distinguish between the enactment of the Great Assembly and the enactment of the Talmud, Hallel on Rosh Chodesh is recited in abbreviated form. In addition, Rosh Chodesh is a day resembling Yom Kippur (the Day of Judgment), and therefore the complete Hallel should not be recited on that day. (Levush) The Shelah HaKadosh says that the New Moon reminds us of the fate of the Jewish people, whose situation in the world is subject to continuous changes, improving and deteriorating, like the moon, which is sometimes not visible at all and at other times brightly illuminates the earth. Therefore, the complete Hallel is not appropriate for Rosh Chodesh, since the moon is concealed on that day. On the Seventh Day of Pesach and during Chol HaMoed Pesach, the abbreviated form of Hallel is also recited. The Midrash says that when the Almighty drowned Pharaoh’s army in the Red Sea (which occurred on the seventh day after the Exodus from Egypt), and the angels began singing a hymn praising G-d, the Creator said to them: “My creations are drowning, and you wish to sing a song of praise to Me?” For this reason, the abbreviated form of Hallel is recited on the seventh day of Pesach. Since the Sages did not want Hallel on Chol HaMoed to be more complete than Hallel on the seventh day of Pesach (which is nevertheless a Festival), they ordained that the abbreviated Hallel be recited on all the days of Chol HaMoed Pesach. In addition to its original purpose of distinguishing the Festivals, Hallel has a second purpose: it expresses our gratitude to G-d for the miraculous salvation from our enemies that He grants us. Therefore, the Sages ordained that Hallel be recited on Chanukah as well. (Hallel is not recited on Purim because the miracle of Purim took place outside the Land of Israel.) The special significance of Hallel is emphasized by the establishment of special blessings before and after it. Hallel is ordinarily recited in the morning, immediately after the Amidah prayer. If Hallel was not recited in the morning, it may be recited at any time during the day until sunset. On the first day of Pesach (and, in the Diaspora, also on the second day), many communities recite Hallel not only in the morning but also the previous evening, after the evening Festival prayer. “Hallel Shalem” (the complete Hallel with blessings) is recited: In Israel: On the first day of Pesach, on Shavuot, on all seven days of Sukkot, on Shemini Atzeret, and throughout the eight days of Chanukah. In the Diaspora: On the first two days of Pesach, the two days of Shavuot, all seven days of Sukkot, the two days of Shemini Atzeret, and throughout the eight days of Chanukah. “Hallel B’dilug” (the abbreviated form of Hallel without blessings) is recited on Rosh Chodesh (the New Moon), Chol HaMoed (the intermediate days of the Festival of Pesach), and the final day of Pesach. On the days when Hallel Shalem (the complete Hallel) is recited, the following blessing is said: BARUCH ATA ADO-NAI ELOHEINU MELECH HAOLAM, ASHER KIDESHANU BEMITZVOTAV VETZIVANU LIGMOR ET HAHALEL. (Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to complete the Hallel.)

Praise, servants of the L-rd; praise the Name of the L-rd! (2) May the Name of the L-rd be blessed from now and forever. (3) From the rising of the sun to its setting, the Name of the L-rd is praised. (4) The L-rd is exalted above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. (5) Who is like the L-rd our G-d, Who sits high above, (6) Who stoops down to see—in the heavens and on earth, (7) Who raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the refuse heap, (8) to seat him with nobles, with the nobles of his people. (9) He makes the barren woman of the house a joyful mother of children. Hallelu-yah.

(2) Why should the nations say, “Where is their G-d?” (3) Our G-d is in heaven; all that He desires, He does. (4) Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. (5) They have mouths but do not speak, eyes but do not see; (6) They have ears but do not hear, noses but do not smell; (7) Their hands do not feel, their feet do not walk, nor do they utter a sound with their throats. (8) Those who make them will become like them, as will everyone who trusts in them. (9) Israel, trust in the L-rd! He is their help and shield. (10) House of Aaron, trust in the L-rd! He is their help and shield. (11) Those who fear the L-rd, trust in the L-rd! He is their help and shield. (12) The L-rd has remembered us; He will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron. (13) He will bless those who fear the L-rd, the small together with the great. (14) May the L-rd add to you—to you and to your children. (15) You are blessed by the L-rd, Maker of heaven and earth. (16) The heavens are the L-rd’s heavens, but the earth He has given to the children of man. (17) It is not the dead who praise Yah, nor all those who descend into silence. (18) But we will bless Yah from now and forever. Hallelu-yah.)

Eli Atah ve’odeka, Elohai aromemeka. Hodu laAdonai ki tov, ki le’olam chasdo. Hodu laAdonai ki tov, ki le’olam chasdo. (Praise the L-rd, for He is good, for His kindness is eternal. (2) Let Israel say, “His kindness is eternal.” (3) Let the house of Aaron say, “His kindness is eternal.” (4) Let those who fear the L-rd say, “His kindness is eternal.” (5) From the narrow place I called upon Yah; Yah answered me with expansiveness. (6) The L-rd is with me; I shall not fear. What can man do to me? (7) The L-rd is with me among my helpers, and I shall see the downfall of those who hate me. (8) It is better to take refuge in the L-rd than to trust in man. (9) It is better to take refuge in the L-rd than to trust in nobles. (10) All the nations surrounded me; in the Name of the L-rd I cut them down. (11) They surrounded me, they also surrounded me; in the Name of the L-rd I cut them down. (12) They surrounded me like bees; they were extinguished like a fire among thorns—in the Name of the L-rd I cut them down. (13) You pushed me hard so that I might fall, but the L-rd helped me. (14) My strength and song is Yah, and He became my salvation. (15) The sound of joyous song and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the L-rd performs mighty deeds. (16) The right hand of the L-rd is exalted; the right hand of the L-rd performs mighty deeds. (17) I shall not die, but live, and recount the deeds of Yah. (18) Yah has chastised me severely, but He did not hand me over to death. (19) Open for me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter them and give thanks to Yah. (20) This is the gate of the L-rd; the righteous shall enter through it. (21) I thank You, for You answered me and became my salvation. (22) The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. (23) This has come from the L-rd; it is wondrous in our eyes. (24) This is the day the L-rd has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. (25) Please, L-rd, save us; please, L-rd, prosper us. (26) Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the L-rd; we bless you from the House of the L-rd. (27) G-d is the L-rd, and He has illuminated us; bind the Festival offering with cords up to the horns of the altar. (28) You are my G-d, and I shall thank You; my G-d, I shall exalt You. (29) Give thanks to the L-rd, for He is good, for His kindness is eternal.)

(Repeat 3 times) (Your creations, L-rd our G-d, will praise You, and Your pious ones and the righteous who fulfill Your will, and Your people, the House of Israel, all will joyfully thank, bless, praise, and glorify Your glorious Name, for it is fitting to praise You and fitting to sing to Your Name; for You are G-d forever and ever. Blessed are You, L-rd, King Who is extolled in praises! Amen.) (Abraham grew old, advanced in years, and the L-rd blessed Abraham in everything. (Zvadya)—this name will protect me and preserve my life. May it be Your will, O living G-d, King of the universe, in Whose hand is the soul of every living being. Amen, so may it be.) The community then recites Kaddish. (Based on the siddur of Rabbi Baruch Malaev, “Tefillat Moshe”)
