Question
Is there a rule for changing one's place in the synagogue even during holidays?
Answer
The custom is to change one's place in the synagogue even during holidays.
Source
There is an opinion that even according to the custom of the Rema, who wrote that one changes their place on Shabbat, nevertheless, during holidays, one does not change their place. However, from the words of the Mishnah Berurah in Siman 548, Se'if Katan 15, which states that someone who lost a relative during the holiday does not change their place, it is proven that if the death occurred before the holiday, one does change their place. And this is the custom.
