Brachos 14- Hallel, Tasting Foods W/O Bracha, Rava and the "Crypt"ic Proof, Saying Good Morning - a podcast by Eran Netkin

1. Interruptions during Hallel and Megillah
In context of the discussion regarding initiating or responding to a greeting during Krias Shema, the
Gemara concludes that the same halachos of interruptions do not apply to the reciting of Hallel or the
Megilla since they are only rabbinic.
2. The third parsha of Krias Shema in Eretz Yisroel
The minhag In Eretz Yisroel was to abbreviate the third parsha of Shema and only recite:
“אמת אלקיכם' ה אני אליהם ואמרת ישראל בני אל דבר” – “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: I
am Hashem your G-d – it is true.”
They would then recite a small paragraph mentioning yetzios mitzrayim.
3. R’ Shimon Bar Yochai’s explanation for the order of the parshiosin Krias Shema
R’ Shimon bar Yochai offers an explanation for the for the order of the parshios of Shema in addition to
R’ Yehoshua ben Korcha’s reason in the Mishna:
שמע – includes in the paragraph the mitvos of learning Torah, teaching Torah and doing mitzvos
שמוע אם והיה – only includes in the paragraph the mitzvos of to teach and to do mitzvos
ויאמר – only includes in the paragraph the mitzva of doing mitzvos
Siman - Hand
The kehilla davening Hallel was interrupted by an Israeli greeting them and shaking all of their hands,
because he had already said his abbreviated Shema and now was eager to learn, teach and do.
