Orach Chayim Siman 644 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 2 seifim. Its reading map separates the practical rule, its conditions and the points that need comparison with the surrounding text.
What to track
Read each seif as a separate step. Identify the action, the condition that limits it and any distinction between cases before moving to the next seif.
Study lens
Look for rabbinic statements and attributed teachings, a turn toward a more precise resolution. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

<b>סדר הלל כל ימי החג. ובו ב סעיפים:</b><br>שחרית אחר חזרת תפלה נוטלין הלולב ומברכין על נטילת לולב ושהחיינו וגומרים ההלל וכן כל שמונת ימי החג ומברכים לגמור את ההלל בין צבור בין יחיד ואין מפסיקין בו אלא כדרך שאמרו בקריאת שמע באמצע שואל מפני היראה ומשיב מפני הכבוד בין הפרקים שואל מפני הכבוד ומשיב שלום לכל אדם ואם פסק באמצע ושהה אפי' כדי לגמור את כולו אינו צריך לחזור אלא למקום שפסק:
The Order of Hallel during the Festival, 2 Seifim: 1. During Shacharit after the repetition of the Amidah, we take the lulav and bless "on the taking of the lulav" and Shehecheyanu and say full Hallel. The same is done on all eight days. We bless "to finish the Hallel," whether with the community or alone. We do not interrupt during it except for the ways that are done during the reading of the Shema: in the middle [of a section] we greet somebody who we fear and respond to somebody who we respect, and between the sections we greet somebody who we respect and respond to anybody. If one interrupted in the middle with enough time to say it all, they do only need to return to the place that they stopped.
