I interpret "getting money" as being very directional when it comes to money.. they don't go way around the block, setting up businesses etc to make money...
They spend time working with money, and getting a return on other peoples money...

Again this is a generalization, but I liked the analogy.. It's an encouragement to stay focussed on what you're in business for... to make money!

The reason you probably never had any Jewish clients, is because they go see their own .

Thats an interesting post Monty.

I didn't look at the link but looking at the little bit you posted, I'd say it's pretty accurate. I enjoy culture and how they are all different/similar from one another. The jewish culture is indeed very unique.

They do "get money", but so do other cultures.

To me "getting money" means you "get" it. You know how to budget it, spend it and earn it. Maybe there should be a "getting money" course added to our schooling system so the rest of society gets how it works too.

I can tell you this from my business perspective; I dont think we have seen a jewish client enter our debt relief program.

I found this site after doing a search for the keyword "Jews make Money"
http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/ij_ch2.htm

It's kind of stereo typical that jews make money... however there are some folks in the jewish culture who do pretty well financially... So.. I thought I would google that term and see what I came up with.

Quote from this site:
LABOR AND JEWRY

The essence of the Jewish Idea in its influence on the labor world is the same as in all other departments -- the destruction of real values in favor of fictitious values. The Jewish philosophy of money is not to "make money," but to "get money." The distinction between these two is fundamental. That explains Jews being "financiers" instead of "captains of industry." It is the difference between "getting" and "making."

The creative, constructive type of mind has an affection for the thing it is doing. The non-Jewish worker formerly chose the work he liked best. He did not change employment easily, because there was a bond between him and the kind of work he had chosen. Nothing else was so attractive to him. He would rather draw a little less money and do what he liked to do, than a little more and do what irked him. The "maker" is always thus influenced by his liking.

Not so the "getter." It doesn't matter what he does, so long as the income is satisfactory. He has no illusions, sentiments or affections on the side of work. It is the "geld" that counts. He has no attachment for the things he makes, for he doesn't make any; he deals in the things which other men make and regards them solely on the side of their money-making value. "The joy of creative labor" is nothing to him, not even an intelligible saying.

So.. instead of jews making money, apparently jews "GET MONEY".. which is completely different.

Anybody care to share their thoughts on this?
