[Avodah] HaRav Yosef Ber Soloveitchik on Saying Hallel on Yom Ha'atzma'ut

[Joseph C. Kaplan]

RYE, quoting RARR): "the Rav's reaction
on this occasion [to walk out of the minyan on Yom Ha;atzmaut]was not so much because of Hallel, but because the students
also recited the "Od haYom beNov" hafTarah, on a klaf, after Torah reading."

I just had the occassion to discuss this on Shabbat with a very prominent rav who had discussed this with RYBS, and he also said that it was the haftorah, and not hallel or its bracha, that was the cause of the Rav's walking out.
