Wearing T’philin on Hol HaMo’edh Where Others Do Not


Question:

I usually pray in a shul where they do not wear tefillin on Hol haMoedh, however I do regularly wear them during this time, but pray at home so that I will not cause any undue strife. Thus, for the past couple of days I have been praying b'yehiduth in my sukkah.

This  being  said,  tomorrow  is Hoshana  Rabbah  and  the  Rav  of my  community  has  asked  that everyone be in attendance. In addition, I am very close to the Rav and he particularly asked that I attend the minyan. My quandary is that on the one hand I want to be consistent and uphold the miSwah of tefillin, but on the other hand I do not want to embarrass or disrespect the Rav of the community in any way.

What should I do?
Thank you and Hag Sameah.

This answer shows the great importance of not causing mahloketh, even though it is important to preserve our custom in the face of the "frum police" and the pervasive chassidic-zohar influence.
