I wonder why jews are so successful in economy and in liberalarts?

Question

I am a Turk and much to my surprise,I found out in a number of books about history that most of those who established Turkey and those who caused the Ottoman Empire to collapse are of Jewish origin and also today,they are in power in both economy and politics in Turkey,a moderate islamic party seems to be in power though.

Answer 1

a jew is on a train, and because of good planing he bring alot of sandwiches, a Turk and German, or american, one of them came up and interupted hime while he was eating he asked, "how are jews so good at biusness and math?" he though about this for a little bit and then he said, "we do it by eating brian of animals, there is some right in this sandwhich I am eating" the man asks if he can have some and the jew says "only for $50" so the man pays him and gets his brain-sandwhich, and then the jew starte laughing, and the man asked why? he said "You could have just gone to the market and bought 10 kilo's of brain"!

now the Jew has $50, and buys a cold drink and 3 packs of peanuts! Saves the rest

Answer 2

Jewish refugees often escaped persecution with only the clothes on their backs for generations. But what they took with them, that no one could "take" from them was their faith and their desire to be educated. They teach their children that education is very important- even educating their girls before many cultures did.
In America less than 1% of the population are Jewish yet 50% of that are doctors and lawyers. Other cultures who also teach their young people the importance of education are beginning to dominate the buisness world.
That doesn't exactly answer your question..but is part of it..

Answer 4

centuries ago, when jews weren't allowed to become blacksmiths or have other common careers, they took on jobs being merchants and doctors and lawyers (hence where the gross generalization that all jews are doctors and lawyers comes from). in the contemporary world it is merely the continuation of all that.
