Every since the ar- rival of the Hebrews in the land of Israel, Hallel- is recited only as a means of thanksgiving for those miracles that occurred in Israel. The miracle which delivered the Jews in the case celebrated on Purim, having occurred outside of Israel (i.e. in Persia), does not call for the reci- tation of Hallel (Erakin 10).

The deal was worked out two weeks ago -be- tween the goVernment and Histadrut in the hope that it would gain the support of some opposi- tion factions.
