Question
If someone has finished the Amidah but has not yet said "Oseh Shalom," and the congregation has already reached Tachanun, may he sit down to say Tachanun without first stepping back?
Answer
He should "uproot" his feet, that is, lift his feet from their place, and then sit down for Tachanun.
