Well I know this one jew whose dads the Israeli Ambassador and (the dad makes around $300,000+ each year where the average salary here is ~$8,000) And he always goes cheap on us. "Oh sorry don;t have money to pay the $4 taxi pay it for me and I'll pay you back (lies", "Please pay my movie ticket...don't have cash here atm...ILL PAY YOU BACK THO! (LIES!!!)" ETC. My dad has the same job but this jewish kid is seriously a cheap ***.

Answer 2

Not cheap just thrifty with money.  

Answer 3

from my experience yes, they are very cheap and rude

but i've only met about 500 of them, maybe not all are like that

Answer 4

Absolute stereotype. There are cheap people of all races and religions. Trust me,its a big world filled with a variety of people. Being cheap isn't the domain of any one single group of people.  

Answer 5

In fact I am an Israelite and as Jewish as they come. There stereotype of Jews being cheap were created by Euro-trash prior to WW I. Jewish people give more money to charity than per capita than any other people on earth. If you are Torah observant you could understand that spending on oneself is an act of idolatry, but spending on the needs of others is a blessing.

Never be a slave to the created, but obey the Laws & Teachings of the Creator. Pope John Paul made a belated apology to the Jewish people for the way we were treated and stereotyped by Anti-Semitic church leaders during WW I & WW II. If anyone is cheap it's the Germans and other like minded Europeans and not the Jews.

On Christian holidays, as is my experience, Jews work in the place of Christians in a myriad of jobs. We work so they can have the holidays off for their families. In modern day Israel again it is the Jews who provide more humanitarian aid to the so called Palestinians than do their own governing Authorities and we do it with private funds.

These are simply facts. Yassar Arafat and his wife stole 9 billion dollars from the Palestinian Authority and moved it to banks in France and no one raised an eyebrow. 89% of all foreign aid sent to the Palestinian occupied territories is stolen and used to purchase weapons to kill Israelis or allow Islamic leaders to fuel hatred while living in lavish lifestyles. There are some Jewish people (Meeshpookah) who are a bit thrifty and won't spend very much at all on themselves but give tons of money to Jewish charity and they do so quietly so as not to glorify themselves.

Hope this helped....

just a stereotype like any other thing that is said about anyone

Answer 7

I worked for Jewish Family Service, a social service agency.  [There are numerous similarly named organizations in several large cities.]  I found our donors to be very generous with their money and their time.

That horrible stereotype about Jews being cheap stems from the part of the Talmud that deals with being thrifty with ones money and guarding it carefully.  However, the Talmud also commands that people use part of their money to help others in need.  So there you are.

Answer 8

my nan used to look after some jews in a community place for old people she told me they were the best bunch of people she ever met in her whole life.
