Description

Making a blessing on a Rabbinic mitzvah. Sitting in succah on shemini atzeres in diaspara. When is the recitation of hallel biblical? Saying hallel on Yom Haatzmaut? Does one recite a blessing when performing a minhag? Hallel on chanukah but not on purim. We repeat later pasukim of hallel. Why there are hidurim in the takana of lighting candles. Lighting is pirsumei nisa. Chumash- Mikeitz: Joseph shaved on rosh hashana before meeting Paroh.
