He is the country that has won the most Nobel Prize. Since 190 1, Jews only account for a quarter of the world's total population, but the number of Nobel Prizes accounts for 20%.
Israel 1/2 adults have doctoral degrees.
Jews suffered the worst national disaster in the world, but they did not have their own country for a long time, but they contributed a large number of outstanding talents to the world: Marx, Darwin, Freud and Einstein. ...
Where did their magical power come from?
First, Jews despise wealth and value knowledge.
They have an eternal truth: wealth can be taken away, but knowledge and wisdom will never be lost. They often tell students a story: many rich people on a boat are laughing at a wise man who has nothing, but the wise man says he is the richest. On the voyage, they met pirates, and they took everyone's property. When the ship arrived at its destination, the rich were down and out, and only a wise man was honored as the richest man in the area with his wisdom. Jewish children are brought up in this way since childhood. They think that people with knowledge have everything. Therefore, in the long-term wandering life, they will not give up their education and study, no matter how difficult, miserable or even penniless. In their eyes, wealth is not the most important thing. It is almost common for Jews to be rich in the morning and poor at night. Money can be taken away and deprived, but knowledge is a treasure that will never be lost once it is owned. To break through the fog and survive tenaciously, their greatest "amulet" is knowledge and wisdom, which is regarded as an irrefutable truth by Jews.
There is such a touching story that is widely circulated among Jews, reflecting their admiration for learning.
Rabiaa Giva was a shepherd in Kabasho when he was young. Kabbah's beautiful and dignified daughter Rachel found the shepherd very noble, so she said to him, "If I am engaged to you, would you like to go out and study law books?"
He replied, "I totally agree."
So they got married secretly. He went to a distant place to study law books. But when her father heard about it, he kicked her out of the house and vowed that she would never get any property as long as he was alive.
Agiwa studied abroad 12 years. When he went home, he brought back 12000 students. Near home, he heard an old man say to his wife:
"How long will you keep such a widow?"
His wife replied, "If he listens to me, he should study outside for 12 years."
Hearing these words, Agiwa returned to the college and studied for 12 years. When he returned to China for the second time, he took 24,000 students.
When Rachel's father heard this, he climbed to Agiwa's feet and gave him half of his property.
In Hebrew, the mountain is called "Harim", the parents are called "Helim" and the teacher is called "Orim", which is very similar to the pronunciation of Tongshan. Jews always think that parents and teachers are like towering mountains, much higher than ordinary people.
In Jewish society, everyone thinks that wise men are far greater than kings, and wise men are the center of people's respect. Because if a wise man dies, there will be no great wisdom in the world. If the king dies, any disciple of a wise man can do it.
Jews attach great importance to the construction of schools. In their view, the school is nothing more than a living well to keep the water of Jewish life.
19 19, the conflict between Jews and Arabs became increasingly fierce, and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem laid the foundation stone in the rumble of gunfire. Since then, the continuous and intensified conflict has not prevented the university from being built and put into use in 1925.
The great rabbi Jochanan once said: Where the school is, the Jewish nation is there. Around 70 AD, the Romans who occupied the Jewish state wantonly destroyed synagogues in an attempt to exterminate the Jews. Facing the unprecedented catastrophe of the Jewish nation, Jochanan made every effort. He pretended to be ill and died, so that he could go out of town to see Vespa, the commander-in-chief of Rome.
He said to Wei Pa-mi, "Your Excellency will definitely become the next Roman emperor."
The general was happy to ask him what he wanted.
He replied, "Please give me a school that can accommodate about 10 rabbis, and don't destroy it."
Soon after, the Roman emperor died. Wei Pa Mi became emperor. When the city of Jerusalem was breached, he really issued an order: "Leave a school for Jews." Dozens of old wise men in the school were cleverly and luckily left behind, and Jewish knowledge and traditions were preserved because of this school.
There are six world-class universities in Israel: Hebrew University, Tel Aviv University, Haifa University, Israel Institute of Technology, Barilan University and Negev-Guben 'an University. Anyone who has been to these universities will be amazed at the beauty of their campuses, the grandeur of their buildings, the advanced equipment and the rich collection of books. The research achievements of many universities in Israel are recognized as authoritative projects by international academic circles.
According to a survey conducted by UNESCO in 1988, in Israel, which is dominated by Jews, Israelis over the age of 14 read a book on average every month; There are more than 65,438+0,000 public libraries and university libraries in China. In Israel with a population of 4.5 million, 1 10,000 people have library cards. Because of the love of reading, the weak Jewish nation is very developed in science and culture. Jews attach importance to education, and their wisdom comes from respect for education. The educational values rooted in the soul of this country are one of the main sources of their success. In the eyes of Jews, diligence is second only to the virtue of worshipping God. "The teacher is greater than the king", and learning and studying are sacred missions. The Jewish nation is known as "bookish nation", and education is the link to maintain the survival and development of the Jewish nation.
Secondly, Jews think that wisdom is more important than knowledge.
There is a famous Jewish saying: knowledge exists only to temper wisdom. In the process of education, they attach importance to tempering students' wisdom with book knowledge. Let students learn to think, question and draw inferences in the process of learning. Third, integration. The same thing in the world can't happen again, and no one can apply what they have learned before intact. Therefore, Jews must learn to learn, learn to learn, learn to think, learn to question, and learn to transfer and use in the process of learning. They compared a man with knowledge but no wisdom to a donkey with many books on his back. In the process of learning, they encourage students who are willing to learn. They think that such people are often greater than knowledgeable people.
