Secularism is as or more important than theologism. We practice and study and learn theology with purpose. The purpose of the theology is to live, and live well. Like the video says, most Jews don't only study, but understand we must practice with and through our ordinary daily lives.
Most Jewish people secular or not haven’t even read their own scriptures. It is a beautiful but humbling experience to read Isaiah 53 and the book of Zachariah so you know who Yeshua is and the unity with how Christians are adopted into Judy Zumper have their own uniqueness from their own unique culture yet their relationship with God is strong and in their weakness and imperfection, it’s made stronger by dependence. Yeshua HaMachiach means promise savior, holy anointed one(as Jewish scripture promises the Priest of priest and king of Kings), the poor man’s Latin of that is Jesus the Christ. But according to Jewish scripture, the Jews are going to miss it while the non-Jews accept it. An interesting rebuke of the leaders of the Jewish leaders lying is found in Ezekiel 34 With a with a perfect example of how the good Shepherd will be God incarnate on earth. Although it’s obvious this is an interesting time. If people want to know what Jesus actually said about himself, because it is true that you’re not gonna hear the truth in a synagogue about what Jesus said he said, read Isaiah 53, Genesis one through three, and then the book of John for yourself, followed by Matthew, and Zachariah. Maybe you’ll need to copy and paste all this into notes, but also Ezekiel 34 and psalm 23 and so many more psalm of the baby. Pierced for our transgressions, by his wounds, we are healed, who does the Jew think that is talking about if it isn’t Jesus? Jesus saved the non-Jews, and Jewish people need to take it seriously that Jesus is Lord. Sh'ma Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad! Hear, O Israel, Adonai is our God, Adonai is One! אֶחָד אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ, גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵֽנוּ, קָדוֹשׁ שְׁמוֹ.
Add keeping the sabbath. Humans tend to keep working 'till the job is done', not allowing themselves rest. Taking that day off and focusing on Godly things really gives a new perspective and creativity in solving problems. Skip the sabbath, and you close that door.
i agree, I recently enforced a secular sabbath upon myself during snowboarding season cause I was exhausting myself trying to get as much time on my board before the snow was gone.
I'm not Jewish either and share your affection for the tribe: The current iteration of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is certain to heighten tensions, as did the Vietnam war, some lasting to this day. It behooves all to maintain civility, even with those one disagrees. Be a Mensch.
I’ve always admired the Jewish approach to life, education, family. I love and appreciate their contribution made to humanity. May Israel and the Jewish people thrive forever.
Yes, and it also makes stubborn, strong and faithful people, whose spirit is impossible to break. All the mighty empires and dictatorship that tried to dominate us are nowadays extinct. Islamism that gloats about their prophecies of doom about Jews will vanish like Ancient Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Crusaders, Political Christianity, Communism, Nazi Germany. And the world will finally realise that wars and hatred are weaker bonds than fraternity and knowledge.

Judaism is a 3000 year old religion. The hexagram as the Star of David wasn't even a thing a century ago, it hardly has anything to do with your identity.
so, the last bit about barred from owning lands, joining guilds, etc... i finally have an answer for why there's "too many successful jews". um, WE WERE PERSECUTED INTO SUCCESS!
But the key element is Chutzpah/Thales/Socratic/Pyyrhoic thinking. 0:20 Jews make up 0.2% of the world's population, but 22% of Nobel Prize laurates. Ethnic Chinese (19% of the world), place even greater value and emphasis on education --- but it's mostly of the passive, Confucian, rote-memorization, don't ask questions type. As a result, they have only won 1.33%, though that number is expected to rise in future, along with those of Indians.
@@1KSarah no, they're saying that they priotise intellectual studies, and books are sources of knowledge which jews rely on. don't be silly, you understood
As a secular Jew I spent a Shabbat (weekend) a few months ago with my friend who is ultra Orthodox and his family. I was amazed of the level which learning fill every moment of their day, and the deep commitment. All day long he would quize his little kids, play memory games, ask questions on their understanding. Go to the synagogue to pray, than stay for studying with friends. It was pretty intense, and this is coming from a med student! Anyway after that I really could understood some of the things mentioned in this video.
Yes. Some are more arrogant... instead of helping the weaker and beeing comapassionate to others outside their cult (and inside as well) . What a great culture. 🙄
@@melvinc23 For truly spiritual people it's not a cult, I agree. But for most of those here in this debate it is - because people inside a cult always seperate themselfes from the rest of all human beings, claiming they're above them because of some knowledge, practice or insights. That is what a huge wing of the jewish people does since hundreds of years, still convinced that they're the "chosen ones". That superioryty, that arrogance makes them members of a cult (all cults typically have this exact conviction of being superior to the rest of menkind). - As I've witnessed in Israel myself: Many jews only look after "each other" inside their cult; when you're not jewish, they don't feel the need to care, quite obviously, terrifyingly.

It's because in Judaism you're required to write the Torah. So literacy is a requirement of the religion. The other religions oppress their adherents and forbid them from reading.
Well I didn’t grow up Jewish but my best friend was Israeli when we both lived in Germany in middle school. She came to visit me in my country to summer after we parted and the next year I flew to her country, Israel. I was so surprised how at home I felt, that I could see signs posted of businesses with my family name, people had not just the same curly hair, but also the same quirky sense of humor. Then I discovered that part of my heritage was Jewish. Just no one told me. My dad held a high position in the foreign service and did not want anyone to know about having Jewish ancestry. Yes this was in Europe and shortly after WWII still lots of antisemitism. So interestingly, I converted, as it felt right. My plan was to ultimately live in Israel. I went to College, studied sciences and went to med school to become yet another Jewish doctor. How crazy is that? A thing the video didn’t address is that Judaism also requires Jews to “heal the world”, so lots of Jews helping healing, being Social workers is also common. I’m not sure about being smarter, but one thing is for sure, studying a lot, such as in medical school, does increase processing speeds. At least that what I noticed for myself. I can read and process large amounts of material much faster now. And it’s been shown that the brain does sprout more connections in the brain with stimulation. So in that sense studying makes you smarter. Studies at UC Berkeley showed this with mice that at any age we can grow more connections between neurons (brain cells). And I agree, for those keeping the Sabbath, it’s very calming and powerful. But I never did in medical school. My boyfriend was Jewish and neither of us did, we had so much studying, but we did no other relaxing things. 😉
As a non Jewish agnostic I must say that I have always suspected that the points made in this video are true. And I have always suspected that for this reason antisemitism is rooted in resentment ,envy and jealousy GOOD VID!
Brought up with good values and genes. You don’t have to go back far in time to figure it out. It’s natural for others to hate on a successful small minorities.
You value education and independent thinking. There’s a reason why the stereotype of “ask 3 Jews a question, you’ll get 4 different answers” is a thing lol
Very well explained! I would only add that our 100% trust and faith in G-d fueled all these aspects. The intellect and all our awareness is to reveal the G-dliness in the whole universe.
The secret is pretty simple. The jews adopted a culture of intellectualism and hard work from early on and have strived to attain artistic endeavor and merit. It has nothing to do little nepotism like anti-semites would believe but simply a culture of people who admire and push for academic excellence. Wish MY regional ethnicity did that
Every human on the planet will have a higher level of success if they: 1) value education 2) master the language of the country they're in (via whichever circumstance) 3) prioritize critical thinking and healthy debate 4) don't use victimhood as a stand-in replacement for the previous 3 Seems like some cultures/ideologies cozy up to these rules more than others, and hence, they've got the wealth, power, and prestige that deservedly comes from following the tried-and-true rules that all people, of all backgrounds, can follow --- it's good news for all of us humans
Making a distinction between nature and nurture, and saying that the former is either cringe or fringe (could not tell which you said) and thus implying that the latter is not is totally absurd, there is no difference between nature and nurture, unless one is deluded into thinking there is free will. Plus, there are very reputable scientific studies that show that Jews have a median IQ 15 points higher than the general population, which is one standard deviation. This makes very little difference at the center of the distribution, but makes a HUGE difference (22% of the Nobels difference, 4 of the 10 richest people in the world difference) at the tail of the distribution.
this doesn't explain the huge gap between Ashkenazi and Oriental Jews, if they both follow the same teachings you would expect them to have simular intellectual achievements?
@@user-bl1ji7io6u Germany was a good environment? Seriously? why did they left for Palestine then? besides, even today in Israel, oriental jews achievements are significantly less than Ashkenazi and I honestly have no clue why, it can't be DNA because oriental Jews and Arabs were both masters of science during the golden age it can't be inbreeding because Ashkenazi Jews have similar inbreeding factor to Orientalists
@@emad3241 It's a good question. I think the answer is that Europe had the scientific Enlightenment, whereas the Middle East did not. The Enlightenment emancipation allowed Jews to leave the ghettos and transfer critical thinking skills they'd learned in religious schools to secular learning and the arts. They were allowed to enter European universities which further developed their skills.
@@boudicca9807 the Middle East did have a scientific enlightenment during the golden age of Islam, and plenty of major Jewish scholars and scientists emerged in that era (like Maimonides and Ibn Shaprut), Muslims back then considered science and critical thinking as a form of worship

My parents weren’t Jewish, but had tons of books and always reading. One doesn’t need to be Jewish to be intellectual. But yes I am, after discovering ancestry I converted. …and now I’m smarter. 😂 And I became a doctor. That’s Jewish humor for you. Judaism is a religion with so many rules…this is one reason why no one is encouraged to convert to Judaism. And who wants to be persecuted?

Great episode! But do you want to know the secret sauce? Joseph was our great example, "And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian." The Lord is with us, and He prospers us as we travel in through this Gentile world. Nevertheless, the promise to our father Abraham is ultimately a spiritual promise. And we must also prosper spiritually. 🇮🇱
I think there are more reasons for those born in countries other than Israel. For example, American Jewish kids study for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah from an early age. This means learning a whole new language ( Hebrew) with a totally different alphabet. Not only that, the script is written in the opposite direction as English. It's like learning to decode lengthy and complex messages at an early age. Finally, at 13, you are called upon to demonstrate your skills in front of your entire family and associated friends, including reading directly from the torah, chanting prayers and text and even giving a short speech. Another consideration is the question of survival of the fittest among the people subjected to repeated banishment and atrocities.
I would rather aggregate the most successful cultures and their patterns and what they do, and just follow that instead. Jewish, Far East Asian, Indian, Nigerian. All of them study.

Throughout history, Jewish students who excelled academically would marry the daughters of rabbis who also had good genes and so were born smart children who also continued to do so Catholic Christian children who were good students were chosen to serve as priests who, as we know, did not marry and therefore the chain was cut off with no followers.
@@user-bl1ji7io6u Thank you for your answer, it makes sense, but nevertheless in medieval Europe children were not sent to schools so how did this Ignorant, who does not know read nor write become a priest?
@@simko8665 During the Middle Ages, a child's right to education depended on social status, the Church, gender, and dealing with constant wars. The literary rates amongst the peasants was low, but those who had the privilege (money, status) of getting an education were either tutored at home or sent to an an ecclesiastical school, which were related to the Catholic Church. Monastic and cathedral schools were established by the Church to train future clergy and monks. Education centered around religious studies, reading and writing Latin, and studying scripture. Ergo, those students who had the money to afford an education, were educated by the Church, and the smartest boys usually became Priests.
@@miraleatardiff8543 I'm not talking only the Middle ages. Many hundreds year before, the Jewish children learned to read and write and were sent to educated in public schools. It was an instruction of the greatest of the generation to teach the children basic learnings. The good ones studied high Jewish studies and the rest became apprentices to various craftsmen but always knew how to read and write.
In today’s world, the far more significant question is why some groups are not. And what, if anything, can be done about it. For it is quite obvious that the success or failure of groups is to a large degree determined by the group’s average intellectual capacity.

A lot of respect for Jewish people from Kosova🇽🇰. Can anyone recommend me really good books which explains Jewish excellence, I would love so much to take lessons from your culture and apply it to my children.
Short answer to the thumbnail: No, Jews aren't inherently smarter than anyone else. It was their cultural priorities that push them to study, growing out from both the near requirement to study the Talmud (among men at least) and Jewish law, and as a survival mechanism to survive in a hostile Christian and Muslim World that barred them from a number of critical professions like owning land, including for farming, so their talent got focused into places they were allowed to have at least a chance like law, science, medicine and entertainment, finance (and even in those places they faced discrimination). Sort of like how African Americans faced severe discrimination in both education and career prospects so their talents got focused into the few professions they were allowed to thrive, like sports and entertainment (and even in those institutions they were held back).

they must be doing something right .... but fun fact... it's only the jews in the diaspora ... not when they have their own country. Israel is "only" average in all pisa and education statistics. Israel even scores below OECD average. So the host countries also maybe had some affect?
For any "oppressed" people watching this. Do your people value education? Do your people value family? Do your people network with each other to build wealth and businesses? Do your people give to charities that promote helping your people? Do your people respect and honor God by doing good things and avoiding bad things?
What are you trying to prove here? You're just being aggressive, which isn't going make anyone: 1. Listen 2. Agree with you 3. Clearly even understand your underlying message
Why do you put faith in the theory of evolution, namely macro evolution with zero evidence, yet you deny historical evidence of God and all of scripture that proves itself as true from a catastrophic temperature changing world event that every culture has a written account of, to the prophecies being fulfilled today in real time that if you know scripture, you will know what I’m talking about. God isn’t a myth, and saying you don’t believe in him, doesn’t mean that you won’t still be held accountable for the fact that he has shown himself to you, God gives everyone a chance, but he will allow people to solidify the hardness of their heart and what they want to choose, which is trying to save themselves, an eternal separation from him and all his good. That’s only “fair.” Him saving us while we are still sinners isn’t fair, it’s merciful. God didn’t create a broken world, we break the world every day, rejection of God, little or small creates large domino effect ramifications towards evil, however, anyone who humbly seeks the truth with their whole heart will find it, the place to start is by reading scripture it encourage people to start in the book of Matthew and read through the new testament going back to the old. Even religious followers in Judaism are not told the truth about what Jesus actually said, that speaks volumes of the evil because Jews understand lying is a sin. And the scripture prophesied even that in Ezekiel 34.
You've probably banned me by now, but I actually agree with all you've said in this video. Even though it does not address the moral positions that some Jews may have taken recently, what you've said is very obvious and respectable insofar as it goes.
Thanks for the feedback! Always happy to engage in educational and constructive conversation. And we don’t ban people - unless they’re spammers, or spread hate and violence.
This non-Jewish Israeli can confirm this fits most of what I have learned about Jews. This makes life in Israel challenging, exciting and never boring.

I wish we Greeks will be as united, resilient, strong, moral and innovative as the Israelis, when the hour of crisis comes. Dear people of Israel, you are a blessing and an inspiration to the world. Stay strong!!!
Education being paramount is something I hope becomes global, but even in communities and cultures that do hold this to be true, they sometimes cannot access the methods of education. In developing countries it's not always easy to get schools built, teachers in them, and kids in the class. I believe that so many possible Nobel winners are out there, but they have not been given the opportunity. "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould

Great vid. As an outsider glimpsing in (kinda), I'd like to add it looked to me the nurturing parts that helped Jewish excellence was * valuing mental health. Not only all the jewish friends I know see therapists, but taking a mandatory break in the week and drinking wine demonstrates it. * the method of studying Torah with a buddy could be applied successfully to any field. * listening to momma, who is probably the master of manipulating/guilt-tripping their kids to do better. * and maybe their kids were always busy Friday night and Saturday doing other things rather than slacking off and mischief. * and the stories they tell of legendary perseverance, hutzpah, and survival probably does wonders on a person's will to succeed.
@@kathrynanneperry4651 every kinda people does various forms of nepotism. How it can increase intelligence would be in the details, but it usually doesn’t result in excellence.
speaking of being open minded, relying on mental knowledge to understand spiritual reality, is ultimately, a very flawed approach - because, getting information from your inner feeling, which is the bridge to the real reality, shows that you know the right tool to use to have understanding :)
As Israeli jew, I would say - we defintely are not valueing critical thinking enough (and our jewish culture in general currently do not push it enough), and the more critical you are - you are usually more secural. So the critical thinking mostly does not come from the jewish approach, but from other sources this current day and age

You have many mistakes, the reading of the Torah on the Sabbath dates back to the days of Moses, it appears in the book of Isaiah chapter 1 verse 13, and also in the Talmud and the writings of the Jewish historians in the Roman period, (and even in the Christian New Testament in the book of Acts). Every father must teach his son Torah, this is a commandment that was written in the Torah book, it is not something that was renewed after the destruction of the Temple, what was renewed (even before the destruction of the Second Temple) is that the people of the city will make sure that orphan children also learn Torah, and therefore they decreed that in every town where there are Jews there will be Children's school. Regarding Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai, Beit Hillel would say Beit Shamai's opinion first and then they would say their opinion as opposed to Beit Shamai who would say their opinion first. This does not mean that Beit Shammai were proud, but simply because of their love for the truth they thought that first of all they should say their opinion, Beit Hillel however they also loved the truth but the love of their friends was stronger and therefore they would say the opinion of their friends before their own.
Actually, genetics can not be discarded out of hand. Nobody has ever demonstrated equal intellectual capabilities across all groups. After having spent a great deal of time around Jews in my youth, even graduating Jewish-run CEDU/RMA, I can say that there is diversity in the population, but that there are a lot more on the upper scale. Forgive the cryptic structure, but the censor bot often removes any comment that does not meet the woke leftist agenda.😉
I think people who come from religious lines are smarter in general. During the middle ages most people didn't know how to read except those who were into religion. Jews had to learn a lot of languages because they were kicked from a lot of places.
Inorder to boost your intellect just learn the Holy Vedas. It's scientifically proven that brain capacity and performance can be greatly enhanced by the constant recitation of the Vedas. Om Brahmane Namah🙏

Secularism is as or more important than theologism.
We practice and study and learn theology with purpose. The purpose of the theology is to live, and live well. Like the video says, most Jews don't only study, but understand we must practice with and through our ordinary daily lives.
Not only religious but also ethnic group
Excepting different thoughts and opinions is the reason that secular Judaism is not an oxymoron
Do you accept Yeshua as God
Most Jewish people secular or not haven’t even read their own scriptures. It is a beautiful but humbling experience to read Isaiah 53 and the book of Zachariah so you know who Yeshua is and the unity with how Christians are adopted into Judy Zumper have their own uniqueness from their own unique culture yet their relationship with God is strong and in their weakness and imperfection, it’s made stronger by dependence. Yeshua HaMachiach means promise savior, holy anointed one(as Jewish scripture promises the Priest of priest and king of Kings), the poor man’s Latin of that is Jesus the Christ. But according to Jewish scripture, the Jews are going to miss it while the non-Jews accept it. An interesting rebuke of the leaders of the Jewish leaders lying is found in Ezekiel 34 With a with a perfect example of how the good Shepherd will be God incarnate on earth. Although it’s obvious this is an interesting time. If people want to know what Jesus actually said about himself, because it is true that you’re not gonna hear the truth in a synagogue about what Jesus said he said, read Isaiah 53, Genesis one through three, and then the book of John for yourself, followed by Matthew, and Zachariah. Maybe you’ll need to copy and paste all this into notes, but also Ezekiel 34 and psalm 23 and so many more psalm of the baby. Pierced for our transgressions, by his wounds, we are healed, who does the Jew think that is talking about if it isn’t Jesus? Jesus saved the non-Jews, and Jewish people need to take it seriously that Jesus is Lord.

Judaism is a 3000 year old religion. The hexagram as the Star of David wasn't even a thing a century ago, it hardly has anything to do with your identity.
so, the last bit about barred from owning lands, joining guilds, etc... i finally have an answer for why there's "too many successful jews". um, WE WERE PERSECUTED INTO SUCCESS!
That is actually correct. Having to work around oppressive systems (against Jews) for thousands of years has created a small group of scrappy people.
I'm a Jewish boomer. In all the Jewish homes I've visited, there were always books and bookshelves
culture is downstream from genetics
But the key element is Chutzpah/Thales/Socratic/Pyyrhoic thinking. 0:20 Jews make up 0.2% of the world's population, but 22% of Nobel Prize laurates. Ethnic Chinese (19% of the world), place even greater value and emphasis on education --- but it's mostly of the passive, Confucian, rote-memorization, don't ask questions type. As a result, they have only won 1.33%, though that number is expected to rise in future, along with those of Indians.

@@maremartini4230 you are very wrong, it isn't a cult, and yes- millennia of being persecuted teaches people to look for each other.
@@melvinc23 For truly spiritual people it's not a cult, I agree. But for most of those here in this debate it is - because people inside a cult always seperate themselfes from the rest of all human beings, claiming they're above them because of some knowledge, practice or insights. That is what a huge wing of the jewish people does since hundreds of years, still convinced that they're the "chosen ones". That superioryty, that arrogance makes them members of a cult (all cults typically have this exact conviction of being superior to the rest of menkind). - As I've witnessed in Israel myself: Many jews only look after "each other" inside their cult; when you're not jewish, they don't feel the need to care, quite obviously, terrifyingly.

It's because in Judaism you're required to write the Torah. So literacy is a requirement of the religion. The other religions oppress their adherents and forbid them from reading.
Well I didn’t grow up Jewish but my best friend was Israeli when we both lived in Germany in middle school. She came to visit me in my country to summer after we parted and the next year I flew to her country, Israel. I was so surprised how at home I felt, that I could see signs posted of businesses with my family name, people had not just the same curly hair, but also the same quirky sense of humor. Then I discovered that part of my heritage was Jewish. Just no one told me. My dad held a high position in the foreign service and did not want anyone to know about having Jewish ancestry. Yes this was in Europe and shortly after WWII still lots of antisemitism.
So interestingly, I converted, as it felt right. My plan was to ultimately live in Israel. I went to College, studied sciences and went to med school to become yet another Jewish doctor. How crazy is that?
A thing the video didn’t address is that Judaism also requires Jews to “heal the world”, so lots of Jews helping healing, being Social workers is also common.
I’m not sure about being smarter, but one thing is for sure, studying a lot, such as in medical school, does increase processing speeds. At least that what I noticed for myself. I can read and process large amounts of material much faster now. And it’s been shown that the brain does sprout more connections in the brain with stimulation. So in that sense studying makes you smarter. Studies at UC Berkeley showed this with mice that at any age we can grow more connections between neurons (brain cells). And I agree, for those keeping the Sabbath, it’s very calming and powerful. But I never did in medical school. My boyfriend was Jewish and neither of us did, we had so much studying, but we did no other relaxing things. 😉
As a non Jewish agnostic I must say that I have always suspected that the points made in this video are true. And I have always suspected that for this reason antisemitism is rooted in resentment ,envy and jealousy
GOOD VID!
Extraordinary video. 👍🏻 I’ll send it to my children.
Brought up with good values and genes. You don’t have to go back far in time to figure it out. It’s natural for others to hate on a successful small minorities.
You value education and independent thinking. There’s a reason why the stereotype of “ask 3 Jews a question, you’ll get 4 different answers” is a thing lol
Thanks for raising awareness about the Jewish cultural emphasis on knowledge and education.
Very well explained! I would only add that our 100% trust and faith in G-d fueled all these aspects. The intellect and all our awareness is to reveal the G-dliness in the whole universe.
No one can forcibly remove & take away your knowledge, education. & intelligence. No government.
No people.
The secret is pretty simple. The jews adopted a culture of intellectualism and hard work from early on and have strived to attain artistic endeavor and merit. It has nothing to do little nepotism like anti-semites would believe but simply a culture of people who admire and push for academic excellence. Wish MY regional ethnicity did that
drinking in a saloon all the time does have its benefits
@@victorblock3421 yeah. It helps you destroy your liver and brain.
Every human on the planet will have a higher level of success if they:
1) value education
2) master the language of the country they're in (via whichever circumstance)
3) prioritize critical thinking and healthy debate
4) don't use victimhood as a stand-in replacement for the previous 3
Seems like some cultures/ideologies cozy up to these rules more than others, and hence, they've got the wealth, power, and prestige that deservedly comes from following the tried-and-true rules that all people, of all backgrounds, can follow --- it's good news for all of us humans
But jews use victim hood mentality by calling anyone an anti-semite who challenges any aspect of jewish culture
Making a distinction between nature and nurture, and saying that the former is either cringe or fringe (could not tell which you said) and thus implying that the latter is not is totally absurd, there is no difference between nature and nurture, unless one is deluded into thinking there is free will. Plus, there are very reputable scientific studies that show that Jews have a median IQ 15 points higher than the general population, which is one standard deviation. This makes very little difference at the center of the distribution, but makes a HUGE difference (22% of the Nobels difference, 4 of the 10 richest people in the world difference) at the tail of the distribution.
You put this together beautifully! Thank you!

@@emad3241 It's a good question. I think the answer is that Europe had the scientific Enlightenment, whereas the Middle East did not.

They were allowed to enter European universities which further developed their skills.
@@boudicca9807 the Middle East did have a scientific enlightenment during the golden age of Islam, and plenty of major Jewish scholars and scientists emerged in that era (like Maimonides and Ibn Shaprut), Muslims back then considered science and critical thinking as a form of worship

I think there are more reasons for those born in countries other than Israel. For example, American Jewish kids study for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah from an early age. This means learning a whole new language ( Hebrew) with a totally different alphabet. Not only that, the script is written in the opposite direction as English. It's like learning to decode lengthy and complex messages at an early age. Finally, at 13, you are called upon to demonstrate your skills in front of your entire family and associated friends, including reading directly from the torah, chanting prayers and text and even giving a short speech.
Another consideration is the question of survival of the fittest among the people subjected to repeated banishment and atrocities.

Family values and the importance of a good education growing a business for the long term
Throughout history, Jewish students who excelled academically would marry the daughters of rabbis who also had good genes and so were born smart children who also continued to do so
Catholic Christian children who were good students were chosen to serve as priests who, as we know, did not marry and therefore the chain was cut off with no followers.

@@simko8665
During the Middle Ages, a child's right to education depended on social status, the Church, gender, and dealing with constant wars.
The literary rates amongst the peasants was low, but those who had the privilege (money, status) of getting an education were either tutored at home or sent to an an ecclesiastical school, which were related to the Catholic Church.
Monastic and cathedral schools were established by the Church to train future clergy and monks. Education centered around religious studies, reading and writing Latin, and studying scripture.
Ergo, those students who had the money to afford an education, were educated by the Church, and the smartest boys usually became Priests.
@@miraleatardiff8543 I'm not talking only the Middle ages. Many hundreds year before, the Jewish children learned to read and write and were sent to educated in public schools.
It was an instruction of the greatest of the generation to teach the children basic learnings. The good ones studied high Jewish studies and the rest became apprentices to various craftsmen but always knew how to read and write.
In today’s world, the far more significant question is why some groups are not. And what, if anything, can be done about it. For it is quite obvious that the success or failure of groups is to a large degree determined by the group’s average intellectual capacity.
Science has proven the opposite.

Short answer to the thumbnail:
No, Jews aren't inherently smarter than anyone else. It was their cultural priorities that push them to study, growing out from both the near requirement to study the Talmud (among men at least) and Jewish law, and as a survival mechanism to survive in a hostile Christian and Muslim World that barred them from a number of critical professions like owning land, including for farming, so their talent got focused into places they were allowed to have at least a chance like law, science, medicine and entertainment, finance (and even in those places they faced discrimination).
Sort of like how African Americans faced severe discrimination in both education and career prospects so their talents got focused into the few professions they were allowed to thrive, like sports and entertainment (and even in those institutions they were held back).

What are you trying to prove here? You're just being aggressive, which isn't going make anyone: 1. Listen 2. Agree with you 3. Clearly even understand your underlying message
Nonsense. It's just random evolution
Why do you put faith in the theory of evolution, namely macro evolution with zero evidence, yet you deny historical evidence of God and all of scripture that proves itself as true from a catastrophic temperature changing world event that every culture has a written account of, to the prophecies being fulfilled today in real time that if you know scripture, you will know what I’m talking about. God isn’t a myth, and saying you don’t believe in him, doesn’t mean that you won’t still be held accountable for the fact that he has shown himself to you, God gives everyone a chance, but he will allow people to solidify the hardness of their heart and what they want to choose, which is trying to save themselves, an eternal separation from him and all his good. That’s only “fair.” Him saving us while we are still sinners isn’t fair, it’s merciful. God didn’t create a broken world, we break the world every day, rejection of God, little or small creates large domino effect ramifications towards evil, however, anyone who humbly seeks the truth with their whole heart will find it, the place to start is by reading scripture it encourage people to start in the book of Matthew and read through the new testament going back to the old. Even religious followers in Judaism are not told the truth about what Jesus actually said, that speaks volumes of the evil because Jews understand lying is a sin. And the scripture prophesied even that in Ezekiel 34.

Education being paramount is something I hope becomes global, but even in communities and cultures that do hold this to be true, they sometimes cannot access the methods of education. In developing countries it's not always easy to get schools built, teachers in them, and kids in the class.

Great vid. As an outsider glimpsing in (kinda), I'd like to add it looked to me the nurturing parts that helped Jewish excellence was * valuing mental health. Not only all the jewish friends I know see therapists, but taking a mandatory break in the week and drinking wine demonstrates it. * the method of studying Torah with a buddy could be applied successfully to any field. * listening to momma, who is probably the master of manipulating/guilt-tripping their kids to do better. * and maybe their kids were always busy Friday night and Saturday doing other things rather than slacking off and mischief. * and the stories they tell of legendary perseverance, hutzpah, and survival probably does wonders on a person's will to succeed.

You have many mistakes, the reading of the Torah on the Sabbath dates back to the days of Moses, it appears in the book of Isaiah chapter 1 verse 13, and also in the Talmud and the writings of the Jewish historians in the Roman period, (and even in the Christian New Testament in the book of Acts).
Every father must teach his son Torah, this is a commandment that was written in the Torah book, it is not something that was renewed after the destruction of the Temple, what was renewed (even before the destruction of the Second Temple) is that the people of the city will make sure that orphan children also learn Torah, and therefore they decreed that in every town where there are Jews there will be Children's school.
Regarding Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai, Beit Hillel would say Beit Shamai's opinion first and then they would say their opinion as opposed to Beit Shamai who would say their opinion first. This does not mean that Beit Shammai were proud, but simply because of their love for the truth they thought that first of all they should say their opinion, Beit Hillel however they also loved the truth but the love of their friends was stronger and therefore they would say the opinion of their friends before their own.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
I go on the notion that Jewish houses have had books, literacy, etc., because they have higher innate abilities to do so.
I really enjoyed this presentation. I just hope that this statement, unlike the last one, makes it past the super-efficient comment deleter.
we can only hope the deleter will miss this
Actually, genetics can not be discarded out of hand. Nobody has ever demonstrated equal intellectual capabilities across all groups. After having spent a great deal of time around Jews in my youth, even graduating Jewish-run CEDU/RMA, I can say that there is diversity in the population, but that there are a lot more on the upper scale. Forgive the cryptic structure, but the censor bot often removes any comment that does not meet the woke leftist agenda.😉
I think people who come from religious lines are smarter in general.
During the middle ages most people didn't know how to read except those who were into religion.
Jews had to learn a lot of languages because they were kicked from a lot of places.

Proud to be Jewish. I wish some ppl would stop demonizing and attacking us.
Society that has experienced many generational trauma make their mind more suspicious and thus deeper into the nature of people and things.
Inorder to boost your intellect just learn the Holy Vedas. It's scientifically proven that brain capacity and performance can be greatly enhanced by the constant recitation of the Vedas. Om Brahmane Namah🙏
The Vedas is many things. However, being "holy" is NOT one of those things.
As a Christian I am indebted to the Jewish people!
Thank you Unpacked for all of these wonderful videos, it's a whole education.
"Two Jews, three opinions" is such a good description of Israel, we always fight but at the end of the day, we are all brothers and sisters ready to defend each other at all cost. עם ישראל חי 🩵
