Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim 5:7

משנה: יָצְאת כַּת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה וְנִכְנְסָה שְׁנִייָּה יָצְאת שְׁנִייָּה וְנִכְנְסָה שְׁלִישִׁית. כְּמַעֲשֵׂה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה כָּךְ מַעֲשֵׂה שְׁנִייָה וּשְׁלִישִׁית. קָרְאוּ אֶת הַהַלֵּל אִם גָּֽמְרוּ שָׁנוּ וְאִם שָׁנוּ שִׁילֵּישׁוּ אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא שִׁילֵּישׁוּ מִימֵיהֶם. רִבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר מִימֵיהָ שֶׁל כַּת שְׁלִישִׁית לֹא הִגִּיעָה לְאָהַבְתִּי כִּי יִשְׁמַע ה׳ אֶת־קוֹלִי מִפְּנֵי שֶׁעַמָּהּ מוּעָטִין׃ MISHNAH: When the first group left, the second entered; when the second left, the third entered. Like the arrangement for the first, so is the arrangement for second and third. They read the Hallel²⁰⁶Psalms.113-118">Ps. 113–118, sung by the Levites (cf. Pesachim 5:5:2" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Pesachim.5.5.2">Note 188).; when they finished they repeated, after they repeated they tripled, even though they never tripled. Rebbi Jehudah says, during the existence of a third group they never reached I am loving; truly the Eternal listened to my voice²⁰⁷Psalms.116.1">Ps. 116:1, since its people were few.

HALAKHAH: ²⁰⁸Taanit 3:11:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Taanit.3.11.1">Mishnah Taˋaniot 3:14, about a fast in a year of drought which was cut short by rainfall. The text is Halakhah 3:14 in Taˋaniot (ו). There, we have stated: “They went, ate, and drank. In the evening they returned and red the Great Hallel.” What is the Great Hallel? Rebbi Pamakh in the name of Rebbi Ḥaninah; Give thanks to Almighty God²⁰⁹Psalms.136">Ps. 136. Pesachim.118a">Babli 118a.. Rebbi Joḥanan said, on condition of who stand in the Eternal’s house²¹⁰Psalms.135">Ps. 135 as introduction to Psalms.136">Ps. 136.. Why these two chapters? Because rainfall is included in them. In the opinion of Rebbi Joḥanan it is understandable, for it is written²¹¹Psalms.135.7">Ps. 135:7., He brings up vapors from the ends of the earth. How is it for Rebbi Ḥaninah? Because it is written²¹²Ps.136:25., He gives nourishment to all flesh; Truly, His kindness is forever. Rebbi Abba, Rebbi Simon, both are saying, ours²¹³Psalms.113-118">Ps. 113–118.. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, ours. Bar Qappara said, ours. Bar Qappara follows his opinion, as it was stated: “during the existence of a third group they never reached I am loving; truly the Eternal listened to my voice, my supplication, since its people were few.” Bar Qappara stated, this is the Great Hallel. A patrician stood before the Ark²¹⁴To be the reader in a service of thanksgiving for rain relieving a drought.; he said to them, repeat after me what I am saying. This implies that it is not ours²¹⁵If it were the regular Hallel, the congregation would not repeat the verses but answer every half-verse with “Hallelujah” (cf. Shabbat 16:1:7" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Shabbat.16.1.7">Šabbat 16, Note 59).. Rebbi Mana said, it is ours. The miracle was great; therefore he said to them, repeat after me what I am saying²¹⁶Because of the extraordinary nature of the event, he changed the usual response to repetition of the entire Hallel..

תַּנֵּי. הִיא הָֽיְתָה נִקְרֵאת כַּת עֲצֵלִים. אָמַר רִבִּי אָבוּן. מַה אִם דָּבָר שֶׁמִּצְוֹתוֹ לָכֵן הִיא הָֽיְתָה נִקְרֵאת כַּת עֲצֵלִים. מִי שֶׁהוּא מִתְעַצֵּל בְּמִצְוָה עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה. It was stated: It was called the group of the lazy ones²¹⁷Pesachim.65a">Babli 65a.. Rebbi Abun said, If in a case where the commandment is followed²¹⁸Since “between the evenings” implies that late afternoon is preferred. it is called the group of the lazy ones, in a case one is lazy in fulfilling a commandment so much more.
