Hallel Made Easy and a few other things

 

Hallel Made Simple

HALLEL IS six of our ancestor’s prayers known as Teheilim/Psalms (#'s113–118), which are recited as a unit in Synagouge in the morning, on joyous occasions including the Three Pilgrimage Festivals mentioned in the Torah  (Passover (Pesach), Shavuot, and Sukkot,)  as well as at Hanukkah and Rosh Chodesh (beginning of the new month). It is also recited in the Passover seder,  the first two psalms before the 2nd cup of wine and the rest after Birkat Hamazon.

Most of it is sung to happy melodies.

Here’s one Psalm that is part of Hallel in Haggadah- Psalm #114,  “Bitzeyt Yisrael /Mah lecha Hayam”, from a bunch of different times and melodies.  Think of three words you would use to describe each one.
