[Andy Curry <acurry...>]

Shma - sit or stand?
Friday night kiddush - sit or stand?
Bar'chu, Amidah - which way to face?
Amida - rise at Mi Chamocha, Tzur Yisrael, or wait until Amidah?
Alenu - ark opened or not? If so, is this an honor given to a congregant?
        If not, is it okay to wait to turn at "Vaanachnu"?
Torah service - melodies for Rom'mu, Hodo al eretz, V'zot Hatorah
Aliyot - which side to approach from and which side of reader to stand on
