This OU source and dinonline say to bow at the waist in Alenu starting with the phrase "ve'anachnu kore'im" but not to bend the knees. Why not bend the knees for this phrase, given that it means just that?

Your dinonline source doesn't seem to say anything relevant. It's primarily discussing bowing to the floor– Double AA ♦Commented Feb 13, 2019 at 16:00

@DoubleAA I refer you to the part that ways "While in our daily recitation of Aleinu we bow only the upper part of our bodies".– Yehuda WCommented Feb 13, 2019 at 16:01

1That is clearly irrelevant since in context it is just in contrast to the high holidays when the whole body bends down. It doesn't mention if the knees should be bent or not while bowing the upper part of the body. It doesn't detail the daily bowing at all.– Double AA ♦Commented Feb 13, 2019 at 16:03

@DoubleAA "Clearly irrelevant" is not clear to me. "Only upper body" seems to rule out knees.– Yehuda WCommented Feb 15, 2019 at 20:40
