# The prayer of al hanissim is inserted into the shmoneh esrei in the beracha of modim and in the beracha of nodeh licha in birkat hamazon on Purim. <ref> S"A 693:2 </ref>
# At night, before reading the megilla we say al hanissim. <ref> Rama 693:2. </ref> This is true even if one recites arvit before nightfall. <ref> Mishna Berura 693:4 </ref>
===Hallel===
# Hallel isn't recited on Purim. <ref> S"A 693:3, Mishna Berura 693:7. The gemara megilla 14a gives three possible reasons: 1. It didn't occur in the land of Israel. 2. That the megilla serves as its replacement. 3. when the story is over, we were still servants to Achashverosh.  </ref>
===Tachanun===
# We do not say Tachanun or Laminatzeach on Purim. <ref> Mishna Berura 693:8 </ref>
