Excerpt from Sect, Creed and Custom in Judaism: A Study in Jewish Nomology
The study of Minhagim, or Jewish Nomology, offers a quite satisfactory solution. It shows that the teachers of Judaism have never sacrificed unity for the sake of uniformity; that to maintain the whole firm and unshaken, the people were allowed to have their usages and customs altered. Abridged, enlarged, amended or otherwise dis posed of, to suit their condition or convenience. Like the ancient god to those who came to his tripod, Judaism taught that every one should com ply with the practices in use in the place he chanced to be. This found expression and was translated into a general tolerance which resulted in unity.
And the proverbial stubborness of the Jews, their persistent refusal to yield implicit obedience to any one, their determination to decide for them selves what to select and what to reject, also acted as a check upon the presumption of those who, by reason of their power or position, would impose upon their people usages prompted by their piety or invented for their interest.
