Special Feature Prepared by Tarbut Foundation
A number of reasons are given
for this practice. Basically, some
contend that this is because a bless-
ing is chanted and when a blessing
is chanted it is required that the
congregation stands. This is derived
from the passage in the Bible where
it is written "And he (the king)
blessed all the congregation of
Israel and all the congregation of
Israel stood" (I Kings 8:14). The
king (Solomon) is later pictured as
"standing" when he issued the
blessing (I Kings 8:55). Some com-
mentaries derive the custom of
standing when counting the days be-
tween Passover and Shavuot from
the passage in the Bible which
states: "Seven weeks shalt thou
number . unto thee; from the time
the sickle is first put to the stand-
ing corn shalt thou begin to num-
ber seven weeks" (Deuteronomy
17:9). The standing position of the
worshiper thus represents the
standing position of the stalks of
grain before they are cut in the
field. Among the many inferences
of this explanation is the concept
that man in his - lifetime is to stand
erect in the service of his Creator,
ever realizing that inevitably the
time must come when he is to be
cut down by the sickle of fate. Some
further state that as the stalks of
grain stand upright facing the Al-
mighty in silent tribute, so does
man stand upright when he offers
benedictions unto the Almighty.
