    thehock: you as well did not provide a source. we have an obligation to help others, to only focus on ourselves is selfish.

    Actually, I did provide a source for the story. It was in Smiling Each Day by Rabbi Twerski, in case you missed it.

    Funny, I thought we fulfill our obligation to help others (and not be selfish, wow are you getting ad hominem?) by giving tzedaka, not by judging how much tzedaka others should be giving….

    Try to become the kind of person who wouldn’t know a Gucci bag if he tripped on it, it’s a happier life.

    “Most people who prefer Gucci, Armani, Borsalino, Lexus or any other brand name will justify it on the basis of “quality.”

    Skeptics will say they bought it for “status.”

    And a thinking person will not lump everything together.

    DaasYochid: Well said.

    If you go to Great Neck and Roslyn, NY you will see those brand names everywhere. Besides all that’s been said, I think it becomes an issue when you spend all that money on brand names and then claim you can’t pay your yeshiva bill.
