Must one say Havineinu standing, or is sitting or walking permitted?
Synopsis
One must recite Havineinu while standing. Although the full Shemoneh Esrei may be recited while walking in a journey, Havineinu—being short—must be said standing because standing maintains concentration and avoids distraction.
