[Avodah] kach nahag rav shach

[Elazar M. Teitz]

<It doesn't say whether Rav Shach actaully said Hallel along with the Tzibur. It only says he would not walk out unless they said it with a Bracha.

Intersting and quite a different repsonse than what the CI was reputed to do. It is said about him that he said tachaunun once at a Bris that took place on YhA so that people wouldn't think he skipped because of the holiday.>
     In the Fifties, Ponevez did not say tachanun on 5 Iyar.  Rav Shach did it, b'farhesia.  I therefore doubt that he said hallel in 1949.
     As for the Chazon Ish, he did not say tachanun _at_ a bris.  One year, he was scheduled to be a sandak at three brisos, but had the minyan at which he davened say tachanun, because "next year, the brisos will be forgotten, but that we skipped tachanun on Hei Iyar will be remembered."  The relating of the incident, as I heard it shortly after his p'tira, did not include the information of whether or not he himself said it.
