During the Era of the Redemption physical delights will be as freely available as dust

L’Chaim | December 31, 2025

During the Era of the Redemption, physical delights will be "as freely available as dust." Although they will be accessible--and we will partake of them for the sake of our health and physical welfare--we will consider them like "dust," i.e., as being utterly worthless. Though we will live in an era of material prosperity, our attention will not be focused on it. Rather, "the occupation of the entire world will be solely to know G-d." (Rambam)
