Chazal instituted that after a minyan prays Shemona Esreh the Shaliach Tzibbur should repeat Shemona Esreh aloud. <ref>S"A 124:1</ref>Although the reason Chazal instituted this practice was in order to fulfill the obligation of those who didn't know how to say Shemona Esreh on their own, this practice is still an obligation for a minyan of people who are all capable of saying Shemona Esreh themselves.<ref>S"A 124:3, Yalkut Yosef 124:1</ref> | |||
==Practices during Chazarat HaShatz== | |||
# When the Shaliach Tzibbur is saying Chazarat HaShatz, the congregation should listen and answer Amen. If there's not a minyan of people answering Amen it is like the Brachot that the Shaliach Tzibbur is saying are Brachot Levatala.<ref>S"A 124:4</ref> | |||
# Some say that the congregation should stand during the Chazarat HaShatz. Some have the practice to sit.<ref>Rama 124:4 writes that some say one should stand during Chazarat HaShatz. See Mishna Brurah 124:20 who writes that the earlier practice was to listen to Chazarat HaShatz standing so that it was like one is actually praying through Shomea KeOneh, however, because of our sins in our days people do whatever they like and some sit. </ref> | |||
