Free will is the ability a person has to act as he wishes. Even [in] all things, a Jew has the power to behave entirely as he wishes—in the manner he chooses.
The Jewish people have free will at their disposal with regard to everything in the world. For others, there are matters in which they are compelled. But for a Jew, whatever he does, such as traveling to some place and so on, involves service [of God], and so he has free will with regard to everything.
