With regards to the article concerning the saying of Hallel in a shiva house it should be pointed out that in addition to Chanukah, Purim and Rosh Chodesh there are 2 other holidays where a shiva minyan takes place- Yom Ha’Atzmaut and Yom Yerushalayim. The question of saying Hallel on those daysc needs to be addressed as well.
