I want to teach you how Jewish children are taught about money and business and their careers from a very young age of course there's exceptions to every rule but this was my experience and many of my friends so here it goes I remember one day I came home to my mom and I said that I want to be a rabbi and she says a rabbi is no job for a Jewish boy and what she meant reading Between the Lions is that you don't make enough money being a rabbi so it's very rare that you're going to see I'm just going to call it what it is hate me for it but I don't care it's very rare they going to see a Jewish person as a cleaning lady or a garbage man because those professions don't make enough money so you're regularly going to be taught growing up in our community that you want to have a job as a professional or a job as a business person so that you could earn a lot of money this is implanted in us very young why does a person need so much money the answer is it's expensive to have a family especially by the way to have a Jewish kosher family to are private kosher food is very very expensive and we have big communities that we need to support and to give charity through our children are taught very young to think big and to aim big there's a song by NOS that goes I know I can I know I be what I want to be what I want to if I work hard at it if I it then I'll be where I want to be please excuse my voice that's the essence of what we're taught as children I know I can be what I want to be if I work hard at it I'll be where I want to to be and that's what we teach our children at a very young age and you might be saying to yourself right now well of course Jewish people teach their children how to make money everybody knows the Jews are obsessed with money well let me tell you something our beautiful Torah given by the Creator himself gives us a very special commandment and it says that we have an obligation to teach our children how to make a living and if we don't it's as if we're teaching them how to steal because they won't be able to put food on their plate any other way besides stealing so that's how we're taught at a very very young age to make a living so when you're talking to your children about making living help them aim high help them to understand that money is something that is important in this world and it will greatly benefit you and your family your life because generational poverty is so destructive poverty is so difficult that you don't want to be in that position and the way that it starts is through the children and to raise them with a proper financial mentality why because the schools are not doing it so it's in your hands if this is your first time on my Channel I want to thank you for staying here with me please smash that subscribe button please leave me a like and a comment my name is barl Solomon I drop one of these videos every single day from the goodness of my heart and for being with you you could have been anywhere in the world but you're here with your boy Big B thank you for that God bless
