Why Jews in general are succesful people?

Question

Why?

I'm Christian and would like to know...

Answer 1

I do think it is a God Gift of intelligence. Many of them are geniouses i think.

Answer 2

Its their culture which causes them to value hard work and saving money. There is no such thing as ethnic or racial intelligence. Most Jews are also set up by their parents to become wealthy. If you utilize your resources and set strict expectations you can achieve much. Asians also value many of the same values in general. We all have various forms of intelligence but it is not necessarily genetic. How will you use your resources? If you come from a culture that values certain ideals you can choose to hold them in high esteem. Jewish people so appear to be set for success but it is not all of them who are wealthy! Jews are also an ethnic group and not just a religious group. There are Christian and atheist Jews as well. Compared to most religions those who practice are a minority. A religion does not guarantee success but tradition and customs often do.

Answer 3

Haha well I'm Jewish and quite flattered that you think that! :-)

It might be due to a good work ethic, or the way many Jews are raised. However, the same could be true of any culture or religion. I don't think there is an exact answer; maybe it just seems that way based on the ratio of Jews in world to other religions.

Answer 4

Because if anyone gets in their way they can say "wtf dude, remember the holocaust???"

No really.. the Israeli government uses that excuse to get alot of money. Too bad most people ignore the 25 million soviet civilians dead due to Hitler's destruction... much larger than the mere 6 million jews.

Answer 5

ok this sounds really weird im christian 2 but i ABSOLUTELY LOVE JEWS!!! i mean all my friends know me for loving jews no jokes! and i dont know why...i feel so sorry for them because they get teased a lot and they have had some hard times in history. I think this has given them the drive and the motivation to do well and be successful because when they were slaves in biblical times they were such hard workers. Also they have the funniest sense of humour....ALI G, BEN STILLER, ADAM SANDLER god i love them all!!!

Answer 6

Some people are more driven to be successful and they're that type of people, I guess? Also, Jews are known for being intelligent, which I'm sure is an advantage.
