Question
When should one stand during the Shacharit prayer on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Aside from the Amidah prayer, according to the law [following the Ashkenazi custom], one should stand only during Baruch She'amar, and Vayevarech David until 'Leshem Tiferetcha', and during Yishtabach.
[According to the Sephardic custom, many sit during Yishtabach].
There are communities that also stand during the psalm 'Hodu LaShem Ki Tov', and some stand during 'Nishmat'. However, there is no ancient source for this.
