The book stained with honey and the story of Jewish wisdom.

Since ancient times, the Jewish people have regarded knowledge as a special kind of capital because it can generate money and wealth, and cannot be stolen.

Historically, the Jewish people are known as a religious ethnic group originating from Israel. Although Jewish people are now scattered across many different countries, Israel remains the only Jewish state in the world, with a predominantly Jewish population and Judaism as its official religion.

Since ancient times, the Jewish people have regarded knowledge as a special kind of capital because it can generate wealth and assets, and cannot be stolen.

The current global Jewish population is approximately 13.8 million people (about 0.19% of the world's population – 2013 data), meaning that about 1 in every 517 people is Jewish. However, around the mid-19th century, a quarter of the world's scientists were Jewish, and by 1978, more than half of the Nobel Prizes had been awarded to Jewish people. Thus, 50% of the contributions to human progress were made by only 0.19% of the population. Great figures of the 20th century, such as the brilliant minds Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, and Otto Frisch, were all Jewish.

So why have generations of Jewish people possessed such intelligence (the average IQ of Jewish people is 110 compared to the world average of 100)? The book "The Secrets of How Jewish People Teach Their Children to Be Rich" offers a specific explanation for this.

The role of the Jewish mother

Jewish mothers teach their children from the moment they are pregnant. They often listen to music, play instruments, sing, and… do math until their child is born. Pregnant women do this because they believe it will make their child intelligent later in life. Mothers choose to eat almonds, dates, fish oil, and fish, but avoid eating fish heads, believing that all of these things will help their child become wise.

From the time the baby was an infant, the mother instilled a love of books in her child by using a little trick: putting a few drops of honey on the book and letting the baby lick it. At that time, in the child's innocent mind, books were something very sweet and appealing.

The New York City Industrial Commission conducted a labor market survey in 1950 and found significant differences in employment patterns between Italian and Jewish women. Italian women often had to work and even take their children out of school to help support their parents, while Jewish mothers did the opposite. Despite economic hardship, they stayed home to raise their children, shifting the entire responsibility of earning a living to their husbands – who worked during the day but had the responsibility of studying and teaching their children in the evenings.

Thanks to the care and encouragement of their parents, Jewish students are renowned in school for their academic achievements and diligence, unlike students of many other ethnicities. In 1954, the New York City public school system recorded 28 students with extremely high IQs of 170, of which 24 were Jewish. Furthermore, these students believe that grades are less important than how one learns, and that learning should involve asking questions. Therefore, Jewish students are encouraged to ask their teachers many questions.

According to Israeli 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, priority subjects for children include business, mathematics, and science. All Jewish children participate in sports such as archery, shooting, and running because they believe that archery and shooting train the brain to focus on decision-making and precision.

In high school, students gradually shift away from studying science and focus on creating products, delving into practical exercises like these. While some projects/assignments may seem ridiculous and pointless, they all require serious concentration, especially if they relate to weapons, medicine, engineering, or ideas that will be presented to scientific institutes or universities.

Business school also receives high priority. In their final year of university, students are assigned a project and practical exercise. They will complete it if their team (approximately 10 people per team) can generate a profit of $1 million. Don't be surprised, this is reality, and that's why half of the world's business is owned by Jewish people.

Jewish society has, from a very early stage, placed great importance on literacy, books, and educated people.

The Jewish people were the first in the world – starting in 64 AD – for the Church to mandate that all men be literate and able to do arithmetic; by the 2nd century, it was mandatory for all men to teach their sons to read, write, and do arithmetic. Thus, they implemented universal education for men more than a decade before other nations.

Israel also leads the world in the percentage of its population aged 14 and over who read, and in the number of books published per capita. No successful Jewish person fails to make time to read, learn, and enrich their knowledge.

Thus, since ancient times, the Jewish people have viewed knowledge as a special kind of capital because it can generate wealth and assets, and cannot be stolen. This is a crucial factor that has helped the Jewish people achieve superior intelligence compared to the rest of the world.
