Question
Hello, when reciting Hallel, if a person has not finished Hallel and the chazzan begins Kaddish, what should the worshipper do? Should they respond to Kaddish, and if so, how? And how should they continue with Hallel afterward?
Answer
Hello
It is permitted to respond 'Amen' in the middle of Hallel.

In Shulchan Aruch, Siman 422 and Siman 588, it is explained that it is permitted to interrupt Hallel even for the sake of peace, all the more so for matters of holiness.
And even when finishing Hallel, its status is like in Kriat Shema, as explained in Siman 66, that one can respond.
