Question

Is it necessary to stand throughout the Chazan's repetition on Rosh Hashanah?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

Ideally, one should stand during the Chazan's repetition as in any prayer. However, if it is difficult, one may sit. The order of preference for standing is: 1. The main part of the Chazan's repetition. 2. Piyyutim recited when the Ark is open. 3. Piyyutim recited when the Ark is closed.

Shanah Tovah, may our prayers be accepted favorably.
