[Avodah] standing

[Rich, Joel]

And RJRich responded

<A  talmid of R' HS pointed me to Mpninei Harav (p217) where he states
the reason for standing given by R' YBS is the on the way to do a
mitzvah (bikkurim) reason.  The melech only applies once he's under the
chuppah (and that's why R' YBS waited until then to put the ashes on the
head of the chatan (that's when he becomes one)). but still stood when
the chatan was walking down.>
 
     When I heard this reason from RHS, I questioned why, when in shul,
we don't stand when a person comes in to put on t'fillin, since he is
going to do a mitzvah; he had no answer at the time.  
Furthermore, if we accept this as the reason for standing, it would seem
to apply to the chasan only, since the mitzvah is his alone.

================================================
I think artscroll brings this down as the reason for standing by
Vayivarech david - the gabbai walked around for tzedaka!
? What happened prior to the Ari?
? Was the gabbai davening at the same time?
