6)

(a) In Rava's time, everyone used to recite the whole Hallel together with the Chazen. However, to serve as a reminder of certain principles and Halachos, they introduced six irregularities in the recital of Hallel.
What were they reminded of when the Chazen said ...

1. ... 'Halelukah', and the congregation repeated it after him?
2. ... 'Halelu Avdei Hashem', and they said 'Halelukah'?
3. ... 'Hodu la'Hashem Ki Tov ... ', and they repeated it after him?
4. ... 'Ana Hashem Hoshi'a Na', and they repeated it after him?
5. ... 'Ana Hashem Hatzlichah Na', and they repeated it after him?
6. ... 'Baruch ha'Ba', and they continued 'be'Shem Hashem'?

(c) How do we know that Yoshiyahu did not repeat what Shafan the Sofer read?

(a) What instructions did Rava give about reading "Baruch ha'Ba be'Shem Hashem ... "?
