It has become a cultural norm in Jewish families for parents to bring up their children to value wealth.

What a wise man knows, therefore, is how to construct a pattern that, given the human situation, is likely to lead to a good life.

The Tanakh teaches that, “The diligent will rule, while the lazy will be put to forced labor”. Most Jews work for themselves and hire employees instead of being employees.

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.

Jews believe that people are creators, not consumers. The role of humans is to improve and perfect God's creations through work, creation, and innovation.

Jews highly value having an abundance of money for the sake of caring for their families and for helping the needy.

Jews have been the most successful and productive nation in history.

The Talmud says that “blessed is He who has created all these to serve me.” German politician Julius Streicher said, “It is an open secret that Jews do not work, but rather let others work for them.

Happiness does not result from pleasure, but rather, from reaching one's goals.

Jewish families encourage pursuit of wealth accumulation, high-income careers, and investing.

No other ethnic group has even come close to matching the abilities and accomplishments of Jews.
