- A Sephardic person doesn’t have to follow the minhagim of his Rabbis who are Ashkenazic. [1]
- A minhag is binding if it involves a stringency above the actual strict law. However, generally speaking, a minhag to follow one opinion on a matter that is a dispute in the Rishonim isn't a binding minhag.[2]

- ↑ Sh"t Or Letzion (vol 2 pg 17-18) writes that one should follow the minhag of one’s parents and not that of one’s rabbis
- ↑ Sdei Chemed (v. 4, Maarechet Mem, Klal 37)
