Jewish view on rosaries, totems?

Asked by pallen123 (1519points) September 7th, 2008

I’m Jewish and I know we’re not supposed to idolize anything, but what does Judaism say, if anything, about things like totems that help you remember those that have died, or say gifting a small memento from Israel to someone that is ill, so they can hold it for emotional courage?
