[Avodah] Hallel Wars

[Prof. Levine]

 From http://tinyurl.com/87mxm4b

Long, long ago, there emerged a debate about the 
recitation of Hallel on the night of Pesach in 
the synagogue.  Should it be said in synagogue as 
well?  Or do we just recite it at night at the 
Seder?  The debate began during the times of the 
Rishonim, and the debate continues on until our times.

There are modern manifestations of the debate as 
well.  What happens when you are at a minyan 
where they say the Hallel, and your custom is not 
to say it?  Rav Shmuel Kaminetsky Shlita holds 
that you should surreptitiously slip away and not 
say it.  Indeed, he writes that you are obligated 
to do so.  Rav Moshe Feinstein zatzal wrote 
otherwise.  He wrote that one should still recite 
it – even against one’s own family minhag.
