but not during “hatzlicha na”. It appears to me that if he davens alone, he only
shakes it during ‘hodu’ at the beginning of hallel. He also doesn’t shake it during
‘yomar na Yisroel’, because we only shake it when saying ‘hodu’ except for the
chazan who also shakes it when saying ‘yomar na Yisroel’; because since the
tzibur answers ‘hodu’, he also shakes then, which is not the case when he davens
