The power of minhag

Hi,

"How do we know that custom is substantive? Deuteronomy 9:14 states, 'Do not trespass the boundary of another, set by early generations.'"

מנלן דמנהגא מילתא היא שנאמר אל תסיג גבול רעך אשר גבלו ראשונים 

(Tur Choshen Mishpat 368, citing Rav Sherira Gaon)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
