''Minhag'' ((ヘブライ語:מנהג) "custom", pl. ''minhagim'') is an accepted tradition or group of traditions in Judaism. A related concept, ''Nusach'' (), refers to the traditional order and form of the prayers. ==Origin of word== The Hebrew root N-H-G ((ヘブライ語:נ-ה-ג)) means primarily "to drive" or, by extension, "to conduct (oneself)". The actual word ''minhag'' appears twice in the Hebrew Bible, both times in the same verse and rendered in this translation as "the driving": Homiletically, one could argue that the use of the word ''minhag'' in Jewish law reflects its Biblical Hebrew origins as "the (manner of) driving (a chariot)". Whereas ''Halakha'' (law), from the word for walking-path, means the path or road set for the journey, ''minhag'' (custom), from the word for driving, means the manner people have developed themselves to travel down that path more quickly. The present use of ''minhag'' for custom may have been influenced by the Arabic ''minhaj'', though in current Islamic usage this term is used for the intellectual methodology of a scholar or school of thought (cf. Hebrew ''derech'') rather than for the customs of a local or ethnic community. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「minhag」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
