No. Jews are no more materialistic than any other group of people. The idea that prevails in society that Jews value material things is a derivative of the Anti-Semitic myth of Jews having an affinity and love of money. In reality, it is much easier to diagnose a person's materialism by their wealth, not their religion. Wealthier Jews tend to be more materialistic than the majority of Jews (who are Middle or Lower Middle Class). This is no different than what we see among Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and Atheists.
Jewish religion and tradition actually emphasizes the spiritual connection that Jews are to have with God and this should obviate concerns with the material. As a result, we find a correspondingly smaller proportion of Orthodox Jews among the "Wealthy Jew" group than their overall proportion within Judaism.

Can dogs be materialistic?
Being materialistic, in the common sense, means being obsessed with and valuing material wealth and goods over other types of values, usually spiritual or social ones You have to decide if dogs are smart enough to have a value system they can think about and place one value above another in order to be materialistic. While they are social animals and can learn their names and tricks there isn't sufficient evidence that they can think about themselves; and, hence what to value and what not to value. They aren't materialistic because they don't have the mental capacity for it, but, they aren't non-materialistic either for the same reason. Dogs are most definitely NOT materialistic. They love a poor owner as well as a rich owner. The only thing they are interested in acquiring is food, and that's more instinctual than materialistic.
