[Avodah] What is a minhag?

Akiva:

All I am trying to say is that Minhag is a very general term and has
very diferent meanings in different contexts - as Akiva himself seems
to be saying.

And those different meanings impose differing levels of chiyyuv, etc.

AISI some impose Reshus only, IOW totally optional, but perhaps
praiseworthy anyway

EG reciting certain parshiyyos, EG Man, Yirah, etc.
