Question
Should the chazan refuse the first and second time when he is invited to lead the prayer?
Answer
When the chazan is not permanent, he should refuse the first time, and the second time he prepares himself as if he wants to stand, and the third time he ascends. In our times, many approach already the first time, and they have what to rely on, since in our times the chazan does not fulfill the community's obligation, there is no difference between the chazan and the community, and this does not indicate the chazan's virtue.
