Question
Hello Rabbi, If a person is in the middle of the Amidah and the congregation is reciting Kedusha, what should he do? Regarding his feet, should he stand on his toes with the congregation? And should he respond to the Kedusha?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
During the Amidah, it is forbidden to respond to the Kedusha or anything else.
Therefore, he should stand silently without moving and listen to the Kedusha, thus fulfilling the obligation according to the principle of 'hearing is like responding'.
If the person praying is at the end of the blessing of 'Resurrecting the Dead', he should recite the entire text of the Kedusha that the chazan says.
