When one begins the Amidah together with the chazzan, should one aim to recite Shome'a Tefillah and Modim simultaneously with the chazzan?
Synopsis
The Mechaber instructs one to synchronize so as to reach Modim when the chazzan does, enabling bowing together. The Mishnah Berurah notes a debate about whether word-for-word synchrony through the end is preferable.
