# 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, Kitzur S"A 20:2</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. Kitzur S"A 20:1 writes that for someone for whom it is easy to stand should stand just as if one was actually saying [[Shemona Esreh]] oneself. 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. The Biur HaGra 124:4 (according to the Birkat Eliyahu) explains that the reason to stand is that Chazarat HaShatz was originally instituted in order to fulfill the obligation of one who doesn't know how to say [[Shemonei Esrei]]. Just like someone who didn't know how to say Shemonei Esrei would have to stand in order to fulfill his obligation by listening to the Chazara, so too the congregatoin should stand. </ref>
