Question
Hello, what is the measure of standing up before parents?
Answer
Hello,
The measure of standing is to fully stand up, and it is not sufficient to merely lean on a table, as this is not considered standing. One is obligated to stand from the moment they see them fully until they are out of sight or until they sit in their place.
