If I remember correctly, Rabbi Falk’s book quotes
the Sefer Shevet Mussar, to support his chumrahs.

This bothers me for two reasons:

[1] Sefer Shevet Mussar is not a Halachah sefer,
It is a mussar book, and many people would say that
it is an extremely tough mussar book.

[2] Most Ashkenazic Rabbis have a very low opinion
of any books written by Sephardic Rabbis,
and normally ignore them completely.

Yet Rabbi Falk makes an exception with Sefer Shevet Mussar,
and accepts its opinions about tznius, even though it was
written by a Rabbi from Izmir [Turkey] who was Sephardic.

Maybe Rabbi Falk does not know that Sefer Shevet Mussar
was written by a Sephardic from Turkey?

==================================

If I remember correctly, the number of pages in Rabbi Falk’s
book about tznius increases every year.

I would like to see a graph showing the number of pages
in that book for each year. The graph would look like this:

YEAR NUMBER OF PAGES
==== ============
1990 100
1991 125
1992 150
1993 200
1994 225
1995 275
1996 310
1997 345
1998 402
1999 444
2000 475
2001 512
2002 555
2003 600
2004 650
2005 700
2006 750
2007 800
2008 832
2009 867
2010 907
2011 950
2012 990
2013 1,014
2014 1,111
2015 1,219

Please note that I used FICTIONAL DATA to illustrate a point.
These are *** NOT *** the real number of pages year-by-year!!!
