Stand Up Or Remain Seated

לז"נ האשה החשובה מרת צארטל בת ר' אליעזר הלוי הי"ד 
נעקד"ה ע"י הגרמנים הארורים - יום השנה, ח"י מנחם

The Minhag is when ברכת הזימון is done with a מנין, to 
stand up when saying the word “אלוקינו”.

Some are Machmir even when there is no מנין and אלוקינו 
is not said to stand up at “נברך שאכלנו”.
 There is no מקור (source) for this Minhag. 
We don’t find anywhere, someone making a 
Bracha should be required to stand up when 
saying the word “אלוקינו”.

The אשל אברהם  (Butshash)  writes that his Rebbe, 
R. Moishe Leib Sassover zt “l  stood up during ברכת הזימון.

He stood during the whole ברכת הזימון from beginning to end 
and not, just for the word אלקינו.

The reason for doing so is, a דבר שבקדושה where 10 are 
required one is obligated to stand.*

The Chasam Sofer writes (Shu”t O.Ch. 50) When Chazal 
were מתקן ברכת הזימון, they specifically were מתקן to do the 
ברכת הזימון while seated and one should not stand up.
(argues on Reb Moishe Leib Sasover)

  The Rav told him not to eat the Glatt Kosher meat. Instead, he should eat the pig's meat. ?
