[ Ссылка ] As long as I've been Jewish — 15 years — I've been poor. I've never been treated badly because of it. On the contrary, on countless occasions, Jews (and goys) have helped me out. I've had countless occasions to bemoan my poverty. Some years I haven't been able to afford a lulav and etrog so I've had to borrow one at shul. It sucks not being able to go out with your friends, but I've never found "materialism" a problem in Jewish or goyish life. [ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ]
