[Avodah] what makes a minhag

[Saul.Z.Newman at kp.org]

the argument has long  been made  in certain circles  that   standing at 
silent attention is not  a jewish minhag.   i wonder at what point  a 
minhag becomes a  'jewish'minhag, since  it is now  a minhag of 
approximately 4 million jews  on 2 specific days in a specific country for 
 a half  century ,and presumably will be the minhag  there ad biat hagoel.
