Question
Hello, My question is, in a case where a chazan leads the morning prayer up to the Amidah, and now they want another chazan to lead from the repetition of the Amidah until the end of the prayer. Sometimes they appoint a chazan for the repetition who is currently at "Tzur Yisrael," and this is his silent prayer. Of course, I know this is not ideal, but the question is about his "Oseh Shalom" (and may it be His will that it be built...). Can he rely on the "Oseh Shalom" of the Kaddish Titkabel? And if so, how should he say Tachanun and Ashrei and Uva Letzion? And if we say this is not an interruption, then moving his feet should not be a problem either? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
In such a case, the chazan should take three steps back immediately after finishing the Amidah and not wait for the Kaddish.

If he did not pray silently but only aloud, he should take three steps back after his loud prayer.
