Reply To: question about rabbenu tam zman for ending shabbos

147: I understand that you follow the Sefardi custom and that’s fine. But please don’t denigrate those who follow the opinion of Rabbeinu Tam and call it a ‘fabricated chumra’. Also please note that Rav Yosef Karo paskens like Rabbeinu Tam in Shulchan Aruch O.C. 261-2. No mention of a specific latitude is made. Although Sefardim do not seem to follow the view of Maran in this case, it cannot be called a ‘fabricated chumra’.
