There are two types of Westerner’s who have been critical Israel’s defensive actions in Gaza this week: anti-Semites and some in the so-called Jewish intellectual elite.

Become an entrepreneur by studying the Torah
From The Jewish Chronicle
Simon Rocker
If you want to find the secret of Jewish business success, go back to the Bible, argues a new book.
Moses has been hailed as many things: leader, liberator, lawgiver and, above all, teacher. But he was also “the most successful entrepreneur of all time”, according to a new book.
Jewish Wisdom for Business Success argues that the Torah and ancient rabbinic texts are not simply guides for holy living, they can provide helpful career advice, too. The book is a collaboration between Rabbi Levi Brackman, the former rabbi of Enfield and Winchmore Hill United Synagogue — who moved to the United States in 2005 to set up a Jewish outreach centre in the foothills outside Denver, Colorado — and Sam Jaffe, a financial journalist who now runs a consultancy for renewable energy companies.Recommend this article... |

Here is the story. Recommend this article... |
