“Enjoying your hard-earned money is not the same as throwing it in other people’s faces to get some kavod – or to prove to yourself that you “deserve the best” when you maybe feel a little doubtful about yourself.”
I had won a 5 dy/4 nite stay @ a 2 wk. kosher program @ a resort in Colorado. we had wanted to extend our stay, but found the cost too high for our wallets. the program was quite full & no one I saw there had any sort of attitude of “better than thou'”… they were all just really nice frum people, all different types of Jews. and I KNOW how costly the program was! (and please don’t say that maybe all the other guests had also won their stay.)
