The Honey Book and the Story of Jewish Wisdom
Since ancient times, the Jews have considered knowledge a special kind of capital because it can generate money and wealth, and cannot be stolen.
Historically, Jews are known as a religious ethnic group originating from Israel. Although Jews now live in many different countries, Israel is the only Jewish country in the world, the majority of the population is Jewish and the state religion is Judaism.

The Jewish population in the world today is about 13.8 million people (about 0.19% of the world's population - 2013 data), meaning that for every 517 people, there is 1 Jew. However, in the mid-19th century, 1/4 of the world's scientists were Jewish, and by 1978, more than half of the Nobel Prizes were awarded to Jews. Thus, up to 50% of the contributions to human progress are made by only 0.19% of the population. The great names of the 20th century, such as the brains of the century Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Otto Frisch... are all Jewish.
So why do generations of Jews have such intelligence (the average IQ of Jews is 110 compared to the world average of 100)? The book “The Secret of Jewish Children Teaching to Be Rich” gives a specific explanation for this issue.
The Role of Jewish Mothers
Jewish mothers teach their children from the time they are pregnant. Mothers often listen to music, play instruments, sing and… do math until they give birth. Pregnant women do this because they believe that this will make their children smarter. Mothers choose to eat almonds, dates, take fish oil and eat fish but avoid eating fish heads because they believe that all of these things will help their children become wise.
From the time the baby was still in the womb, the mother created a habit of liking books in her child by using the trick of putting a few drops of honey on a book and letting the child lick it. At that time, in the child's immature perception, books were something very sweet and attractive.
The New York City Industrial Commission (USA) conducted a human resources survey in 1950 and found a big difference in the employment of Italian women and Jewish women. Italian women often had to go to work and even forced their children to drop out of school to work to help their parents, while Jewish mothers did the opposite. Despite economic difficulties, they stayed home to raise their children, leaving all the responsibility of earning a living to their husbands - who worked during the day but had the obligation to study and teach their children at night.
Thanks to the care and encouragement of their parents, Jewish students are famous in school for their academic achievements and diligence, unlike students of many other ethnicities. In 1954, the New York City public school system counted 28 students with extremely high IQs of up to 170 points, of which 24 were Jewish students. In addition, these people also believe that grades are not as important as learning, and that learning requires asking questions. Therefore, Jewish students are encouraged to ask teachers many questions.
According to Jewish scientists, the vibrations of music stimulate the brain and that is why there are so many Jewish geniuses...
General education system
From grades 1 to 6, the subjects that children prioritize include business, mathematics, and science. All Jewish children participate in sports such as archery, shooting, and running because they believe that archery and shooting will train the brain to focus on decision-making and accuracy.
In high school, students will gradually learn less about science and will learn how to create products, delving into such practical exercises. Although some projects/assignments may seem ridiculous and useless, all require serious concentration especially if they are subjects related to weapons, medicine, engineering, the idea will be introduced to scientific institutes or universities.
Business is also a priority. In their final year of college, students are given a project to work on. They will complete it if their team (about 10 people/team) can generate a profit of $1 million. Don’t be surprised, this is a fact and that is why half of the business in the world is Jewish.
Jewish society from very early times placed great importance on literacy, books, and educated people.
The Jews were the first people in the world - from 64 AD - whose church mandated that all men should be able to read, write, and calculate; by the 2nd century, it was mandatory for all men to teach their sons to read, write, and calculate. Thus, they had universalized male education several centuries before other peoples.
Israel is also the world leader in the number of people over 14 years old who read books, and the world leader in the number of books published per capita. There is no successful Jew who does not take advantage of his or her time to read, to learn, and to enrich his or her knowledge.
Thus, since ancient times, the Jews have considered knowledge a special kind of capital because it can generate capital and wealth, and cannot be stolen. And this is an important factor that helps the Jews achieve superior intelligence compared to the rest of the world.
