Jewish Literacy as the Road to Riches: The Chosen Path of the 'Chosen Few'

Jewish Lawyer's Avatar
An excerpt from the excellent article:

Why did you choose the title "The Chosen Few"? Don't you feel it may create misunderstandings?
We explain the meaning of this title in the book's introduction. But instead of repeating here what is clear throughout the book, let us communicate another positive message that our book intends to spread: in the world of almost universal illiteracy back 2,000 years, the Jewish religious leadership -- the rabbis and scholars in the academies in Judea and Galilee -- required each Jewish individual, child or adult, rich or poor, farmer or merchant, to learn to read and study the Torah. Instead of restricting learning, study and knowledge to a small elite, the Jewish religious leadership of that time went exactly in the opposite direction: it pushed Judaism toward making literacy, education and knowledge universal among all Jews. Centuries later, this apparently odd choice of a religious norm became the lever of the economic prosperity and intellectual achievements of the Jews.

I don't know about reading the Torah, but there is absolutely no doubt that the Jews have an innate understanding that education, and of course hard work, are the keys to prosperity and economic security. But, the Germans understand that too......

You're just stirring shit again with what you know are more irritating "Jews are superior" postings. You're bizarre with your efforts to generate what you think will be anti-Semitic responses.

What's the story? Have you discussed it with your therapist? Because, if you haven't, you should.

Literacy rates among the Jews 2000 years ago were low, less than 10%. Many of the scribes were functionally illiterate and copied without understanding.

She asks me how I feel when I expose the truth about them, and I tell her I get satisfaction out of exposing lying, cocksucking, faggotty liberals. Conservative anti-Semites are at least honest, so I have more respect for them, and can work with them politically.
She's getting 150 per hour, so she thinks about it and we go on...
I tell her hookers get 300 per hour, she just laughs.
