Sitting for Tachanun before stepping back
Question
One who has finished praying but has not yet said "Oseh Shalom," and the congregation has reached the recitation of Tachanun—may he sit to recite Tachanun without first stepping back?
Answer
He should "uproot" his feet, that is, lift his feet from their place, and then sit for Tachanun.
