Yitayningwut so you are talking about chumras that someone isn’t holding by.
What about someone who has been holding by them for many years already?
Are you saying they should go “down” (for lack of a better word) from them?
anonymous555, what would you then have said to the R’ Abuchatzera who would never daven with someone, who had no beard?
He did not say he would daven only with big scholars who could quote Zohar and what beard means.
He would daven with the simplest most unknowledgeable Jew but he had to have a beard which obviously means he did not think that
it was wrong or foolish for “an am haaretz” to ‘have’ a beard.
