That is a very interesting question. On the flip side, goyim do it all the time. They will sell whatever is necessary or take it to a pawn shop and try to retrieve it when they have the funds. Are we truly so attached to OUR possessions or is it more than that? Is it the need to hang on because as Yiddin OUR things are always taken from us? Or is it the sentiment that we attach to it vis a vis an heirloom piece that was the babba’s of the Zeide’s or is it just the value that we hang on to?
