When I was young I asked my father where the whole Jews and Money thing came from.
At one time money was considered "dirty" and being a merchant was considered lower class.
The other ways to success, being barred to them, their talents were bent towards these paths. And since they were a people apart, it was in their best interests to make their friends prosper. The 1st "secret" is that all honest work is honorable, and potentially profitable. The 2nd is that mutual aid benefits all involved.
In my opinion, the secret to Jewish financial freedom lies in outstanding quantitative analytical ability :). Also, of course, the insights of this video are outstanding, too!
I agree with you Jewinthecity, life is NOT defined by your possessions on Earth but your possessions in Heaven... as the Bible says "For Where Your Treasure Is, There Your Heart Will Be Also". Dont let your possessions own you!
I would have thought you would be saying it's because Jews tithe more than most people. Now all of a sudden, I'm having a craving for matzo.

I think their secret is the Torah, the book of life.
And how about the rich jews who never read the torah?
They also practising some principles of the torah without knowing it.
And I also believe that blessing from Abraham is upon them until today (and always be).

That's "free" as in not tied down to anything external - not "free" in terms of cost.
And in terms of the high price, other than the seders, I'm a fan of machine made - tastier and cheaper!

its free if you make your own, from home grown wheat.
