There is an emphasis in Chassidic literature on limiting one’s participation with the physical environment, to measure what is necessary and what is extra and luxury.
We call it eskofia, holding back.

What is the reason for eskafia? Zecharia and Reuven debate the idea and conclude. It’s doable. We just need to know why!
