Prostration during Prayer
Yochai:
There is a movement of people in Israel who call themselves Talmidei HaRambam, and some of them supposedly prostrate during prayer, based on the absence of a ruling by the Rambam.
Does anyone know anything about this practice, or can verify that it is true that there are people who do this?
Kahane-Was-Right BT:
This video by OmedYashar on youtube. I believe he learned by them and is a Talmid Harambam.

--- Quote ---In the Ashkenazic liturgy, the service of the High Priest in the Temple in Jerusalem is recreated in the Musaf service. Based on the talmudic references and descriptions of those services, which appear in tractate Yoma, the poets of Israel have woven a tapestry that gives the worshipper, centuries and continents removed from the Temple, a feeling of immediacy and of being, even now, a participant in those moments of spiritual grandeur. We bow and prostrate ourselves before the Lord in our synagogues as our ancestors did long ago in the courtyard of the Temple. We are at one with them at that moment. I may dare to state that the musaf service of Yom Kippur and its description of the High Priest's service in the Temple in Jerusalem did as much to keep alive and real the Jewish dream of returning to Zion as did the kinot of Tisha B'av and the daily prayers regarding the Land of Israel. For those who study and recite these prayers, the High Priest and the Temple become real and alive in one's innermost soul.

Of course, but I am referring to those who do it during Amida.
