Three steps back

Hi,

The sh'liach tzibbur (chazan) takes three steps back after the private amidah, even though the primary purpose of this amidah is simply to prepare for the public amidah he about to recite. There is no prayer without these three steps.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:70:8)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
