What are the traditional Jewish customs related to books?
The cleverness of Jews is world-famous, among which Einstein is the best known. Indeed, according to authoritative data, as of 20 15, there were 770 Nobel Prize winners in the world, of which 153 were Jews.

Interestingly, the number of Jews only accounts for 0.3% of the world's population, but they have won the Nobel Prize in the world 15. Marx, known as "the first thinker in the Millennium" and "the first great man in the Millennium", and Einstein, known as "the brain of the world", are all Jews.

Why is disturbing people so smart? Let's take a look at Jewish reading anecdotes together, and it is not difficult to understand.

In disturbing eyes, reading is "as sweet as honey".

After the birth of a child in a Jewish family, the mother will read the Bible to the child, and every time she reads a paragraph, she will let the child lick honey. When the child is older, the mother will drop a little honey on the Bible and let the child lick it. The move is to tell children that books are as sweet as honey.

In the Jewish imagination, the dead should also learn.

In ancient times, Jewish cemeteries often kept books because they thought that the dead would come out to study in the dead of night. This symbolizes the end of life, but the thirst for knowledge is endless.

According to the regulations of ancient Jewish society, people who are proficient in Talmud do not pay taxes, so anyone who is proficient in Talmud can save a lot of money. The reason why this regulation is introduced is because people think that such people have made great contributions to society, so they can be exempted from tax.

Moreover, the disturbing library is the best in the world. According to the survey, Jews have a library for every 4,500 people on average, and the number of books per capita and the proportion of people who won the Nobel Prize are the highest in the world. In addition, disturbing people read an average of 64 books a year. Israel, which is dominated by Jews, is the country with the largest per capita reading in the world, and the number of its publishing houses is also among the highest in the world.

Don't think that Jews can only read. They also attach great importance to the use of book knowledge and the ability to turn knowledge into wealth. Most Jews began to live independently at the age of 18 and were able to earn money to support themselves. Jews call a man who has a full stomach of books but can't put them into practice "a donkey with many books on his back".

After reading these, do you understand why Jews are so smart? Reading more books is still useful.
