I am sure you'll enjoy them as much as I do
These political successes may well reflect our economic success. The median income in the United States is about $25,000 a year. That means that one half of all Americans earn more than that, and one half earn less. The median Jewish American income is double that, i.e., $50,000 a year.
About 40% of American High School graduates go to college. However, 85% of Jewish high school graduates go to college. We also have a vast number of graduate students and a great percentage of Jews with graduate degrees such as M.B.A., M.D., Ph.D. etc. etc. This is not necessarily cause to be proud since diploma chasing did not save the European Jews from the Holocaust even as Israel survives because the Jews of Israel know how to use a gun (Throwing books at armed murderers doesn’t work).
