May Women Say Hallel With a Beracha During Hanukkah? Day: Wednesday Date: December 28, 2016 Parshat: Miketz Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 683 Sponsored by Skilled Moving and Storage. Professional and easy moving throughout Los Angeles. www.SkilledMoving.com Even though women are also required to light the hanukiah, they are not required to say hallel during Hanukkah just like they are not required to say hallel during any other Yom Tov. A woman who wants to say hallel regardless does not say a beracha. Generally Ashkenazi women say a beracha on mitzvot such as sukkah, lulav, and others even though they are not obligated. However, even they should not say a beracha on hallel since it only involves speaking and no real actions. DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel.
