Are these piyutim to be regarded as part of the amidah and thus require standing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The poskim write that even when one is able to rely on the chazoras hashatz as one&rsquo;s own amidah, one cannot do so when there are piyutim. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>(Mate Efraim 591:1) Thus these piyutim are not regarded as part of the amidah, and maybe one could sit down when they are being recited.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" align="left"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
