[Avodah] Birkat Cohanim on Hoshana Rabbah

[David Cohen]

The davening on Hoshana Rabbah takes on some but not all the charcteristics
of Yom Tov. Were any specific criteria used to determine which parts were
changed to YT and which were left like a chol day? Specifically, in nussach
askenas, we add the extra tehillim in p'sukei d'zimra, but don't say
Nishmat. We use the weekday kedusha for Shacharit but Yom Yov kedusha for
mussaf.
And since it is questionable that we don't duchen in chutz l'aretz except on
YT, why don't we do so on HR?

Shabbat shalom and chag sameach,

David I. Cohen
