The Seder 2024: Hallel

In this class I attempt to answer (among other things) the following questions:

* Why is this the only time we say Hallel at night?
* Should we recite a beracha on this Hallel? If so, one or two?
* Why do we stop in the middle of Hallel for dinner?
* What is the connection between Hallel and Hallel Hagadol (which we recite immediately afterwards)?
* Where does the fifth cup of wine come into all this?
