Q&A: Providence and Custom
Providence and Custom
Question
There are two topics that you discuss a great deal in your writings: the topic of providence and the topic of customs.
I tried to build a complete picture of your outlook on these matters, without success.
I am unable to buy your books.
I would be glad if you could direct me to your main writings on these topics.
Thank you in advance.
Answer
That is why I wrote the books. So I refer you to them.

To y — greetings,
The simplest and most effective way (aside from studying the books) is to google 'Michael Abraham providence/intervention' and 'Michael Abraham custom' and simply go through the material. You can also go through the list of posts on the site and find the relevant ones.
In my humble opinion, it would be possible and desirable for someone to take on the burden of writing an academic thesis (M.A. or Ph.D.) in order to exhaustively present Rabbi Michael Abraham's thought on the above topics and the developments it underwent over the years.

I saw that the Rabbi has earlier versions of certain chapters, as well as posts on almost every topic that appears in his books,
I would be glad if the Rabbi could direct me to them.
On providence I found material, but not on custom; if the Rabbi could direct me to his post on the subject.
I don't remember an article or any systematic treatment of customs.
