Family education of Jews: Jews suffered the worst disaster in the world, and did not have their own country for a long time, but they contributed a large number of outstanding geniuses to the world in economy, science and art: Marx, Darwin, Freud, Einstein ...
For decades. The proportion of Jews who won the Nobel Prize is far higher than that of other nationalities. The advantage of Jews in intellectual orientation activities is closely related to their family education.
rich cultural background. In the long-term national disaster, Jews left their homes and scattered around the world. They stubbornly maintained their own culture, but also attracted the cultural essence of the host country. The outstanding scientific creativity of the Jewish nation stems from its unique open social and cultural ecology. Many Jewish families take the initiative to contact with other ethnic groups and absorb a lot of cultural nutrients from other ethnic groups, so that they have a broader vision and richer knowledge and nutrients. Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb in the United States, and Fromm, a psychologist, are all scientific talents who broke ground under this compound cultural ecology.
persistent pursuit of education. A foreign writer wrote: "Jewish families should be highly praised for their knowledge, and non-Jewish families are dwarfed in this respect." This factor constitutes the basis of all other differences. " Einstein's achievements are also related to his good education in his childhood. This is due to his mother's musical influence, his uncle's mathematical enlightenment, and his father's emotional education, which encouraged him even after he made a lame bench. A survey conducted by UNESCO in 1998 showed that in Israel, which is dominated by Jews, Israelis over the age of 14 read one book a month on average, and 1 million of the 4.5 million people in the country have library cards.
rational way of thinking. Herbert Brown, a Nobel Prize winner and American Jew, said, "My grandfather often asks me why today is different from other days. He always lets me ask my own questions, find out my own reasons, and then let me know why. Throughout my childhood, my parents encouraged me to ask questions, never taught me to rely on faith to accept one thing, but to seek truth from everything. I think this is the place where Jewish education is slightly better than others. " Almost every child in a Jewish family has to answer this question: "If your house is burned down one day, what will you take with you to escape?" If the child answers that it is money or diamonds, the mother will further ask, "There is a kind of treasure without shape, color and smell. Do you know what it is?" If the child can't answer, the mother will say, "son, what you want to take away is not money or diamonds, but wisdom." Because wisdom can't be taken away by anyone, as long as you live, wisdom will always follow you. " The characteristics of Jews' single-minded pursuit of knowledge and their unusual use of knowledge to make a living have been passed down from generation to generation.
an eternal state of mind. Jewish families not only attach importance to knowledge, but also attach more importance to talent. They refer to people who have only knowledge but no talent as "donkeys with many books on their backs". They advocate innovation and think that learning without innovation is just imitation, and learning should be based on thinking, dare to doubt and ask questions at any time. Doubt is the key to wisdom. The more you know, the more doubt will occur, and the more problems will increase. Therefore, when many Jewish families meet children after school, the first sentence is: "Did you ask questions again?" Some people say that the Jewish people are a nation of philosophers who try to reveal the secrets of nature and mankind. Like to think about macroscopic and deep-seated problems, like abstraction and logic, it has become the core of Jewish family education.
Jewish history education: history is actually a record of a national brand. One of the reasons why Jews carefully remember national history is to let Jews scattered around the world realize the unity of Jews in this way. However, the greater role of history education is to inspire personality in all directions, which Jews also quite agree with. Therefore, the real sense of history education is not only to emphasize the glorious history, but also to face up to the failures, setbacks, persecution and decline in history, from which we can reflect and learn lessons. In this sense, Jews try to define education as "painful education". They not only tell children that there is joy and happiness in life, but also tell them that there will be darkness and frustration in life.
Purim Festival (also known as Purim Festival) is a costume parade held every February or March. In ancient times, Esther, a Jew who became a princess, spared no effort to save the lives of Jews. This festival is to commemorate this period of history.
On the Puling Festival, people will play flutes and ring bells, and children and adults will dress up and March in the streets. Before this happy parade, children must learn the origin of this festival. Esther once gave her life to inform the king of a plot to kill Jews. As a result, the principal of the plot was executed, and the Jews saved their lives at a critical moment. Expressing Jewish gratitude is the main purpose of Purim Festival.
in December every year, there is an eight-day dedication festival. In ancient times, in order to resist the tyranny of Greece, the Maccabees held an uprising and restored Jewish autonomy. This festival is designed to commemorate the uprising. On this festival, people will learn about the history of the desecration of the temple in Jerusalem and the deprivation of Jewish freedom of belief.
Also, two thousand years ago, the Greek army personally destroyed the temple in Jerusalem. In order to commemorate this event, every August, Jews will review history, practice a one-day hunger strike and pray for the reconstruction of the temple.
In addition, Jews in Spain were exiled, Jews were crushed by Christians, and they were subjected to exorbitant taxes and levies, until the fascist massacre. No matter how big or small the incident was, Jews would investigate, record and remember it in detail as long as it was related to them.
The mission chosen by the Jews is not to let these tragic history repeat itself. The pain of the past is the lesson of the future, so the Jews will pass this mission on to the next generation and tell them that they can't take a comfortable attitude towards life; Have a sense of responsibility for the nation and the world; Studying history should not only stay in the past, but also open your mind to the future.
A Jewish friend once told me the story of a Jewish father educating his son: a loving father put his 3-year-old son on the window and told him to jump down, and the father met him at the bottom. The child was carried away and happy. At the third time, the child jumped down happily, but his father didn't pick him up. The poor child fell to the ground and cried, while the kind father laughed. The child lied to his father by complaining why he didn't answer it. When his son was frightened, the father coaxed his son: "Why do you think that I picked you up twice before, so there must be a reason to pick you up again for the third time?" Why do you think that because I am your father, I will definitely help you? "
Of course, children will never forget this kind of education, but I think it's a bit cruel. Why do you want to print such a gloomy and deep notch on a child's young mind? Why do children learn to doubt and hate when they are so young?
My Jewish friend's refutation surprised me. He said, "Why can't Jews hold a grudge? A nation that has been forced to flee from its home for thousands of years, a nation that has been forced to fuck cheap jobs and be slaughtered and can only endure humiliation and drag out an ignoble existence to survive, and a nation that has been wandering around the world for generations and has a deep taste of being a man and being indifferent to the world, why doesn't it have the last right to hold a grudge! "
I was shocked by his logic!
Jews give people the impression that they are struggling, striving and being strong. Because of the disaster, Jews are looking forward to getting ahead one day. Since the Middle Ages, he has been managing money step by step to make money, and has almost become a wealth manager and businessman in the whole world. In this contemporary society where money can do everything, how can he not be red or rich! The Jews who stood at the top of the financial circle finally stood proudly, striding into politics, academia and business circles to preside over world affairs. Being at the bottom of the world for a long time, everyone in the Jewish community has learned to endure. However, Jews are well aware that if they want to turn over, they must pay attention to education. Therefore, in the minds of Jews, education is a religion and an iron law, and it is a crime to slander education or not to receive education. No matter how poor, boys should be educated. Jews all over the world belong to the same society, and Jews all over the world help poor Jews study. Jews cherish money very much, but they are duty-bound in this matter. They can't bear to be stingy. Such misers will be despised by the Jewish nation.
Jews are punctual and trapped in business for generations, knowing that time is the truth of money. Jews are tactful, but businessmen dare not be tactful. Jews are also stubborn. People will learn to be stubborn when they have money.
Because of the above characteristics, many people say that Jews are like China. Westerners say like, Jews admit like, China people are also happy to say like. Compared with westerners who insist on science, both China and Jews attach importance to education, punctuality, tact, understanding, being willing to socialize, loving business, being conservative, despising women, caring about politics, being practical, being good at compromise without affecting the overall situation, have it both ways, etc. They are not just brothers.
But after long contact with Jews, you will find that China people are very different from Jews. In many things, Jews are more discerning, tenacious and persevering than China, know the truth of unity, and hold together in everything; Also, Jews openly teach and preach hatred and bear grudges.
Every year at the end of spring, there are always people reading names day and night with loudspeakers on the campus of Columbia University. For days, the main road in the middle of the campus is filled with names from east to west with chalk, which is quite confusing at first. Day and night, each person takes turns for an hour. The thick and endless list is hardly heard or even noticed. Most outsiders don't know what they are doing. They don't care about the ups and downs and the exposure to the hot sun. They just read it wholeheartedly. The names of the dead who have been read are gone with the wind in an instant, and the words written on the ground with chalk can't be saved for long. These things are easy to erase, but the symbolic meaning of this behavior will never be erased.
I don't think anyone in the world dares to look down upon or ignore this nation, and this unforgettable hatred. It's a pity that China people are too smart to do these little things that they know are "useless". I often think that if China people can have such a spirit, the Japanese will not dare to admit their mistakes after killing so many China people. In contrast, the Germans have sincerely and fearfully admitted their mistakes. Until today, they are still paying back everything in the war, and the Jews still boycott German goods. Jews are determined not to buy even one screw from Germany.
Jews are selfish. And they don't hide this selfishness.
China people are also selfish, but they hide it. They value humility and tolerance, and they are willing to take a long view of selfishness, which is beneficial to both people and themselves. Smiling at people, sophisticated, mature, full of incomprehensible human feelings, "oriental mysticism", which is the place where Jews are "playing chess" and the most difficult place for westerners to understand.
In business, Jews value credit and pay attention to business ethics, which is genuine; But business is always business, and when it's done, it's ruthless. China people are passionate and lingering. Business is more than business. On the surface, friendship and consideration are given to each other. There is always a question mark about the credibility inside. First, people are full of warmth and then they are tense. They are angry with their buddies and finally go to court. This is not as good as the Jews.
Authentic Jews in new york's Lulun District wear black clothes, a top hat with a small melon skin hat, a big beard and a hanging chest, and trousers pockets full of tassels. You don't have to worry about doing business with such people. Although some people say that they are cunning in doing business, they will never take crooked ways, and what they say will be true. But there is one thing. Up to now, the opposite sex can't shake hands with each other in public, even in business. But it is such a nation that is the breeding ground of feminism and Depth Charge, and most feminist theorists are Jews. It is absolutely women who are in charge of the Jewish family. They specialize in all the affairs of the family and the education of their children. This is the well-known "Jewish mother" system.
Jewish culture is such a strange culture full of contradictions.
The Jewish people have gone through rough times and scattered everywhere. In order not to be swallowed up, they often amassed huge material wealth and grasped the economic lifeline of their country of residence. However, the rich Jews always have a morbid sense of insecurity, which stems from their profound perspective and thinking about their living conditions.
In their eyes, wealth is not the most important thing. It is almost a common practice for Jews to be rich in the morning and poor at night. Money can be taken away and deprived, but knowledge is something that will never be lost once it is owned. Their greatest "amulet" is knowledge and wisdom, which is the irrefutable truth of the Jews. To learn is to worship God
Jews believe that wisdom and knowledge are the sweetest.
There is a custom in a typical Jewish family to drop honey on the Bible, so that children who are slightly knowledgeable can lick it and taste the sweetness of "knowledge".
In ancient times, this custom was a very formal ceremony. When children enter the classroom for the first time, they should put on new clothes and bring them to the classroom by priests or learned people. There, every child can get a clean slate with Hebrew letters written with honey and simple Bible sentences. Children lick the honey off the slate while reading the letters. Later, the rabbis will give them honey cakes, apples and walnuts-all of which are aimed at making them taste the sweetness from the beginning of their studies.
This ritual has long been a thing of the past, but through ancient rituals, people can get a glimpse of Jews' attitude towards learning.
In Judaism, being diligent and eager to learn is an integral part of worshipping God. No religion places so much emphasis on learning and research as Judaism. Due to the promotion of diligence and learning to the height of worshipping God, Jews, spurred by their own "beliefs", have formed a tradition of culture for almost all people. Knowledge is better than wealth
This is a story that happened on a boat. All the boatmen are rich and rich, but there is a rabbi among them.
Rich people get together to show off their wealth. The rabbi said, "I think I am the richest man, but I won't show you my wealth for the time being."
during the voyage, the passenger ship was robbed by pirates, and all the property of the rich people's gold, silver and jewelry was looted. After the pirates left, the passenger ship finally arrived at a port.
Rabbi's profound knowledge was immediately appreciated by the people in the port town, and he began to teach students in the school.
Soon, the rabbi met the rich people who had come in the same boat before, and they were in a miserable situation. At this time, when they saw the reverence of the rabbi, they understood the "wealth" he said at first, and said with emotion, "You are indeed right. Educated people have endless wealth."
Jews used this story to leave a lesson for future generations-knowledge can't be taken away, but people can always walk around with their arms around them, and education is the most important asset of human beings. Knowledge is better than money.
Jews attach great importance to knowledge. In their view, ignorant people cannot be religious.
Learning makes people rigorous, rigor makes people enthusiastic, enthusiasm makes people clean, cleanliness makes people restrained, restraint makes people pure, purity makes people sacred, holiness makes people humble, humility makes people fear sin, fear of sin makes people holy, holiness makes people have a sacred soul, and sacred soul makes people live forever. Knowledge is of great value. Therefore, Jude
