- Q. This is a question it may not be on a practical level. But I am curious what you have to say.
I Learned in regards to saying krias shemah from the gemara we hold like Bais Hillel that you are supposed to read כדרכו and the gemara brings a story with ור ישמעאל ר אליעזר . Not like Bais Shamai.
In Siman ס"ג the Mishnah Beruah says this if you are davening in the morning for example and they are coming to say shemah and you feel like right then and there to stand because of you were feeling or had a twitch etc. You shouldn't stand because it will look like you are going like Bais Shamai.
My question is if you make a Siman that you are standing because you are tired like yawning or stretching or you do something to reveal your intentions does it still fall in the criteria that you are showing that you are going like Bais Shamai? Looking forward!
A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a ruled that when one was sitting with the other participants or even when one was praying on his own sitting, he should not stand up when saying the Shema.
Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a maintains that if it is obvious that you are standing up for other reasons, such as if your chair was unsafe and shakes or a great Talmid Chacham entered your place, it would be permitted to stand up.
