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