[Avodah] Normative Law?

[Joel Rich]

Sometimes it seems to me that there may have been original reasons for a
practice but that practice then becomes something more like normative law
detached from the reasons. An example might be turning around for lcha
dodi. Originally the practice may  have been to face the west or to face
the doors etc. but in many communities, it  just became to turn around.
Thoughts?
