What is the source of the obligation to observe a custom?
Question
I would also appreciate it if you could point me to how exactly one defines what counts as a custom and what does not.
Answer
This is a vague concept and hard to define. You can read about it on Wikipedia: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%A0%D7%94%D7%92_(%D7%99%D7%94%D7%93%D7%95%D7%AA)
