Can anybody tell me why the ppl of jewish faith tend to be the wealther ones?

That is a stereotype if I ever heard it.

I know a lot of poor Jews. I know a lot of wealthy gentiles.

Why are you asking a question that you know will draw ire?

One reason may be because of their strong family ties and the fact that their divorce rates are lower than the national average.

I would think that both of these conditions would lend themselves to increased financial health.

they watch out for each other, hold pricipals (thier own, anyways) and always think ahead for the future. They stick together and are very proud of their heritage, but most keep it in a low profile.

Well organized too.

it's because historically, in europe, christians were not allowed to be dealing with money, and christians were supposed to live sober.. that's why the average christian is not wealthy.. while the church is.. jews, on the other hand, were entrusted with money issues.. it why they were so much in banking etc.

this is a historical account.. no judgements of any kind and please feel free to prove me wrong

They believe in a strong education, both religious and normal. Higher education means more money.

They go to school and get an education. Unlike the majority of redneck christians.

because they work hard and are kind of greedy and cheap
