Should I Stand During the Reading of Aseres HaDibros

“Where are you going to shul today, Ya’ankee?” asked his father.

“I am going to Ohr Simcha, because my friend Moishy is having a Bar Mitzva there today,” replied Ya’ankee.

“Oh, ok. Great. Have a wonderful time,” wished his father.

At Ohr Simcha, Ya’ankee noticed everyone getting up at some point during Krias HaTorah. He realized that they are doing that in honor of the Aseres HaDibros that will soon be read.

“Hmm...,” he thought, “I know that the European community that our family comes from davka does not stand during the reading of Aseres HaDibros.”

Question: Should Ya’ankee rise or continue sitting?
