“Jews are estimated to be less than 1% of the world's population yet approximately 25% of the world's billionaires are Jewish.”
“While many ethnic and religious groups are mainly focused on the afterlife and downplaying this world, Jews view wealth and success as a blessing and gift from God.”
“Religious Jews believe that all things come from God, as God owns everything. The Tanakh says, “The Lord makes some poor and others rich; he brings some down and lifts others up” (NLT, 1 Samuel 2:7). “The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it” (NIV, Proverbs 10:22).”
“The Jews understand that the blessing of wealth was dependant upon obedience to the law and covenant. The laws in the Torah, if followed, would bring blessings.5 The Tanakh says, “How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands…they themselves will be wealthy.” (NLT, Psalm 112:1, 3) "If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.” (NLT, Job 36:11)”
“Jewish families encourage pursuit of wealth accumulation, high-income careers, and investing.”
“It has become a cultural norm in Jewish families for parents to bring up their children to value wealth.”
“Jews have been the most successful and productive nation in history.”
