Question
Hello Rabbi, during the Hallel in the Haggadah, a person fell asleep while reading the Hallel after the third cup and woke up an hour later. Can he continue from where he left off? And bless the final blessing 'Melech Mehulal B'Tishbachot'?
Answer
Hello Rabbi and joyous holidays!
The Shulchan Aruch states that even if one interrupted for a long time in the middle of Hallel, he continues from where he left off.
[However, if he was interrupted due to compulsion, the Mishnah Berurah is stringent that he should return to the beginning].
Source
Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Laws of Rosh Chodesh, Siman 422, Seif 5:
If one interrupted and delayed, even if delayed long enough to finish it entirely, he does not need to return to the beginning.
See Mishnah Berurah, S"K 25.
