Why are Jews so rich?

Answer 1

Actually, although there are many rich Jews, possibly more in proportion to their population-there are also many medium and poor ones. The reason why we have an impression of the rich Jew is because we know little about them and most of what we come across are the much publised rich ones. However, if, and it is most probably, that there are a disapportionate number who are rich-there are two basic reasons.

One, that throught the last 1800 years the Jews, who were without a country of their own(and without the responsibility of one) were amongst other things, forbidden in quite a lot of lands to bear arms or be in certain occupations. Also because of the absence of national responsibility they became intellectual and not very physical. But finance and trading were some of the things they could go into. They therefore had generations to consentrate on and become adept in the running of money. In fact they were many time, even financially disadvantaged by kings and lords borrowing money from them and either not paying back, or in the case of Edward I (Longshanks) - confiscating their wealth. They lean't, over generations, all the tricks of financing and business. And they generally helped one another, especially their own relatives. Unlike many of the local populations who really didn't do that. And they did become interested in study. They learn't things that the local population mostly didn't know. Hence when the black plague of 1347-1349 came, the only two groups of people who didn't fall to it were Poland(which introduced a complete embargo in their nation) and the Jews who actually took baths, washed and were hygenic. So they were put into a position, especially by the Christian powers and thus they lean't through the centuries the art of money making. Thus you do have a lot of rich Jews.

The second reason is that because of the acquired love of learing(the ancient Israelites weren't particularly noted for their love of it) and their propensity to help one another-they scrimp and save to put their children through university. And many times a university education does bring wealth. Thus down throught the generations you have people who continue to ensure that their posterity have money. So of course eventually you get generations of particular families who are prosperous. They have basically earn't it and have care for the future of their own children. Something that many in our society have not.

So the two basic reason why there probably is a basis for even this exaggerated belief is that they happened to be in that circumstances and that they, by their hard work and concern for their children's future, have earnt it. Although there are many cases of expoitive Jewish business people. And many don't particularly care for the gentile. However this is a trait that runs throught the business class. Just look at the downsizing and cost cutting of today. Also I myself know poor Jews. And in Israel so many of the Jews there are poor or struggling that the banks lend them money to go on and continue to do so because of national policy and economic necissity. And isn't this interesting. Since the foundation of modern Israel, the Jews over there have become more nationallly responsible, more physical and less money minded. And there are Jews elsewhere that are not the typical mythical image of the Jew. And after all, as far as the money question is, didn't we put them there in the first place.
And when you look at the changing of interests and priorities in the founding and running of their own nation(and the fact that many fought for their countries-Judaism basically being a religion) you find that , like any other human being, they respond to necissity and circumstances. For as far as money is conerned in the Jewish state-Israel, they follow Sun Tzu's dictum. " War cannot get too expensive, for the survival of the state depends upon it. " Hope this helps.

Richest Jews

Answer 4

I'm not sure if I should even bother answering this question, not a good tone to it, but here goes.

During the middle ages there were frequent bans on Jews owning property or having shops. Hence the only work available was often money lending.

Also, Hebrew script is a better way of adding numbers than latin script, try adding 1234, 1234, 1122 as a column, then try LLXXV, LVXXII, LXXII etc.

So not only were Jews forced into this area, but as fate would have it they had a better system.

Dealing in precious metals is also useful if you have to leave an area in a hurry because of the latest pogrom.

Then you could also add in a strong work ethic, and a commitment to education.

However, you should look up the Pale of Settlement and the extreme poverty there, in farming communities, and compare my comments above, which mostly cover jews in western Europe.

Also, the assumption that what you are implying is true, is predudicial.

Answer 5

I don't want to spoil the fun by begging the question, so, I'll just note that many Jews aren't rich. Some are poor. I grew up in an American community where there were an inordinate number of elderly Jews, and some were destitute.

There are many rich Jews in America and the reasons are no mystery. Jews have a love of learning, a good work ethic. History for Jews is one huge cautionary tale, so they will gather, and strive, and, very often, succeed--including in business and finances. The biggest canard is that Jews are cheap. They are among the most generous people in the world.

Nolajazzguide's words are priceless. No, not the ones about the Jews having the right connections and the Zionists Jews who control the world, Although they add perspective to her stated passion: "I love to share my knowledge with others." Oh, La-La, I love it when you reach for the stars and show us what big chutzpah you have.

Answer 9

Jews tend to have higher socioeconomic status for a lot of reasons. Judaism honors education and learning, which means that a lot of Jewish people throughout history have gone further with their schooling than others might have.

Sadly, most Jews in America were the lucky ones who got out before the pogroms and before the Holocaust, so they were likely the ones who already had the money to do so. Many poor Jews were killed before they had a chance to make it here.
