Question
During the days of Hanukkah, if someone knows only half of Hallel by heart and is in a place without a siddur, can they recite the blessing?
Answer
Only on Rosh Chodesh Tevet is it worth discussing whether one can recite the blessing, and practically, one should not bless on the Hallel. If later a siddur becomes available, they should recite it again without a blessing.
