* What’s the bottom line? The S”A 110:1 rules like the simple understanding of the Rif that one should only say Havinenu in cases of Shaat HaDachak. The S"A 110:1 (according to the explanation of the Mishna Brurah 110:2 and Biur Halacha D"H Oh Shelo) gives two examples as to when one may say Havinenu: (1) if one is traveling or in any other place where there is a fear that others will interrupt one's [[Shemoneh Esrei]], or (2) if one is in a place where one can’t concentrate because of distractions or sickness. </ref>

# Havinenu should be said standing. <Ref>The conclusion of the Gemara Brachot 30a is that one should stand for Havinenu. This is codified as halacha by the Tur and S”A 110:1. The Rosh (Brachot 4:18) explains that even though in certain cases one is permitted to sit during [[Shemoneh Esrei]], since Havinenu is a short prayer one should be able to have kavana (proper intent) even if one stands. This is quoted by the Bet Yosef 110:1 and Magan Avraham 110:3. </ref>
