Are Physical Possessions Good or Bad

Words of Wisdom from Rabbi Yitzi | December 31, 2025

Physical Possessions Are Not Inherently Good or Bad; It’s How We Use Them That Matters.

Make the spiritual most important, but you recognize that everything in the world has a spiritual purpose. In other words, the physical becomes important for the spiritual reason it exists. So the physical isn’t bad at all, it just has to be harnessed and used for its G-dly purpose. When it is just physical, it is negative, but when it is viewed through spiritual lenses, it is positive.
