Why are Jews disproportionately rich and successful? - Rabbi Manis Friedman

Rabbi Manis Friedman offers some explanations for why Jewish people are disproportionately successful in the fields of business, science and more.

[@ferdinanddaratenas3447]

I'm a Jew who made Aliyah from Argentina a few years ago. I work in cleaning for minimum wage in Jerusalem, renting an apartment studio. Don't get me wrong, I'm content, grateful to live in this country and able to pay my bills, but where is all that fricking wealth and power I'm supposed to have according to the antisemites? I didn't have it back in Argentina, and I don't have it here. I don't think there's a reason to be jealous of me, so the hatred seems unnecessary.

[@JustSomeGoy]

So Jew is a race?

[@ferdinanddaratenas3447]

​@@JustSomeGoy No, because races don't exist. Race is a pseudoscientific concept invented by modern Europeans. Although there are differences in skin pigmentation that are commonly associated with different "races", specially in America, but the concept itself is bogus at best.

It was gentile Christian’s who spread knowledge of the God of Israel,the story of Noah and so forth. Jewish rabbis or people were not spreading this information to non-Jews

[@ronanbakker]

Now we live in a multi polar world. Both Israel and Greenland are holy countries. Vikings feel almost electrically connected with God. Gods message to the people: mankind must learn to master the Earth and build new settlements at uncommon places using faith as a fallback mechanism. The goal is to spread the message to formerly barbaric nations such as the Germans and Dutch. That explains the obsession with the succesful project Israel. The Jews know how to focus on creating new stuff. Old and new are beautifully mixed in holy towns as Jerusalem. That makes it a magical place. God wants you to love His creation and learn the mathematics behind it using your scholarship.

[@IamTheChildOfGod2024]

Simple answer it's because of Genesis 12:2-3

[@darrelljohnson1319]

silly boy ignores the scripture, God said Genesis 12:3 “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genes have nothing to do with God blessing his people he has used plain simple shepherds to became greatest king of Christ royal line for the time when he himself shall rule the Nations the rabbis never understood the Scriptures as they fo;llow tradition of man but in the End all Israel will be saved . after the coming antichrist

[@edwardhill7045]

the answer is because God wants it so .Not for any other reason than that the Jews actually know the Living God our Creator

[@edwardhill7045]

@Spike16 they are the first born of many nations who now have the favor of God. Thanks to Jesus Christ and the apostles He commissioned to teach all nations we all know the God of Israel that the Jews want to keep to themselves. Now we all have God's favor and not just the Jews.

[@edwardhill7045]

@Spike16 did you ever read the prophecy that says we will have double what the Jews have in our own lands. God is not robbing the world and giving it to the Jews for He gives us double what He gives to them.

[@DrKaii]

@@edwardhill7045 Just because the NT said it, don't mean it's true. Go ask an actual Jew, he'd love to share the God of Israel with you, if you approach him without this vitriolic hatred that leaks out of your words. The only reason he doesn't is because his ancestors have been tortured by Jesus' and Mohammed's followers for MILLENIA, and you continue to lie about him to this day. Give him a chance.

[@edwardhill7045]

@@DrKaii get honest Christians have never retaliated against Jews .Muslims that is true because Muslims are led by a false god who is in competition with the real God who is the God of Israel .Christians know that Jews cannot believe in Jesus because its the will of God for them .God had a mission to the nations and wants all mankind to know that He is God .Jews want to keep the knowledge of God to themselves and not share that wisdom with us from the nations and God saw that so they were not used to TEACH ALL NATIONS WHICH WAS JESUS MAIN MISSION .But the Jews are not finished for God has more for them to do and In His time He will tell them what He wants them to do .Christians and Jews are on the same team .and i dont consider Catholics as Christians because Catholics have killed both Christians and Jews because they secretly serve Satan .

[@edwardhill7045]

@@DrKaii and that double blessing that God gives to believing nations is not written in the new testament but in old testament prophecy .See Jesus told us that man lives by every word that God has spoken so its prudent to read every last word that God has spoken .People that dont read all of the bible are walking around in darkness to what God intends to do in the earth .TRUE BELIEVERS WILL FEAST ON THE WORDS OF GOD LIKE THEIR DAILY BREAD . they will eat up every word that God has ever spoken .And God the Spirit will bring to our memory every last scripture that we ever read at the proper time Just like He intends to do when its His time to open the eyes of the Jews to Jesus .

Easy question to answer…. You work hard and have a bias towards other Jews….. There…. What’s so hard to understand about that. Nothing wrong with that, as humans we all favour our own.

[@noahsgrannie]

Wow, big assumptions; most jews R not rich.

[@trollnerd]

He mentioned that. "Disproportionately rich" means that a larger % of rich people are Jewish compare to total people who are Jewish. WIth that said I think it's also worth mentioning that there are only 16 million Jews on earth. Just 1 Jewish billionaire family would make us disproportionately rich

[@Arturest]

@@trollnerd but there isn't just 1 jewish billionaire family. There is a disproportionately percentage of rich jewish families, to put it better.

[@trollnerd]

@@Arturest Yeah but that's just because there's so few Jews. There's only 16 million Jews worldwide, so if there's even just one Jewish billionaire family, they are automatically going to be "disproportionately represented". So ultimately it's a pretty weak argument. The overwhelming majority of billionaire families are not Jewish. So if billionaires control the world, it's mostly not Jews.

Very dishonest & arrogant to chalk this up to genes & "soul" crap. More likely than not the reasons are - power begets power, money begets money, power & money opens up opportunities, and parents pass their knowledge & resources down to their kids.

Jesus Christ is Lord, the son of God. He died and rose again for all. No one can come to the Father except through HIM. This is the key ingredient that Jews are missing.

[@DrKaii]

Every single one of the proof texts you have for that idea in the OT actually, if read in context, imply that it's talking about ALL jews, not just that one... Jews are the suffering servant. Just go read Isaiah 53 AFTER having FIRST read 1-52. Heck, just read 51 and 52... You are making a BIG mistake, your soul is in serious trouble. Please just do the most simple basic thing in the world and read Isaiah 51 and 52, and see for yourself. Return to the true God, and bless His people, rather than constantly causing the suffering servants MORE suffering. Seriously, just read it, and be saved. Good news - there's no such thing as eternal damnation on the side of truth, God never said "love me or go to hell forever", God is not a monster.

[@katiejackson-ix8ee]

It's a big mistake but it's not your fault.
