Rabbi Falk is extreme to YOU, YOU’RE extreme to Coservative Jews, and THEY’RE extreme according to the Reform Jews. IT’S NOT A MATTER OF EXTREME. IT’S A MATTER OF HALACHA.
LOL.
Most people I know (including those who are RW) don’t follow Rav Falk specifically. And yes, he is known to incorporate chumras from multiple shittas.
The correct thing to do? Talk to your LOR about what the “right thing to do is” or if you feel uncomfortable, talk to a Rebbetzin who knows the halacha.
