Length: 37 minutes
Synopsis: This afternoon (5/24/23), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, on the day before Erev Shavuos, we decided to learn through the Rambam's tshuvah on the question of whether one should stand when the Aseres ha'Dibros are being read during Krias ha'Torah. After reading his answer (spoiler alert: it's a "NO!"), we read Rav Moshe Feinstein's tshuvah on the matter, in which he takes the opposite position.
