Wise Jewish proverbs. Proverbs about Jews

Wanders around the world, penetrating from one national culture to another, crossing state borders, seas and oceans. Today it is difficult to establish when Jewish proverbs and sayings “Russified”, “Germanized” or “Polished”, but, undoubtedly, the centuries-old wisdom of the “eternal wanderers” influenced the everyday speech of a wide variety of ethnic groups located in both hemispheres of the planet. People who use popular expressions do not always know in what language they were first uttered.

Who is Shlimazzle

The first thing that impresses people with Jewish proverbs is their self-irony. The ability to make fun of oneself is a sign of wisdom, and this is manifested most clearly in folk art. The hero of many sayings is a certain “schlimazle”. This word means, generally speaking, a loser, who is also narrow-minded and has many other personal vices. “Shelma” (the abbreviated designation) can be greedy, stupid, and nothing ever works out for him. If the shlimazzle sells snow, a warm winter occurs; if it sells water, there is a drought. He sometimes speaks well, but it would be better to remain silent. Of two evils, shlimazzle will manage to choose both. He does not live to see success, because he cannot endure troubles, he falls at someone’s feet, and they will certainly step on his head. He tells the half truth, and it turns out to be a lie. In general, if some Jewish proverbs are funny, it is because they contain shlimazzle: you can always make fun of it. The main thing is not to get carried away too much and not become one yourself.

About wisdom

The sayings themselves, used appropriately, are a kind of concentrate of wisdom accumulated over many centuries. It is not surprising that among them a considerable proportion are those that define rationality and, on the contrary, stupidity. It is important that wisdom is not always identified with So, one of the sayings says that the presence of gray hair indicates old age, and not intelligence. However, another states that an elderly person sees worse, but still more. Apparently, the accumulated experience is taking its toll. It is also instructive to not be too sweet (they will eat it), but it is also undesirable to overdo it when it comes to bitterness (they will spit it out). An anti-alcohol theme is also presented: “the secret goes away when the wine comes in.” These beautiful Jewish proverbs may seem too simple, their moral too obvious. But this doesn’t make them any less wise. After all, unfortunately, not everyone follows the obvious rules of behavior.

About family

Sometimes you can hear a common phrase: “Love is gone!” “So that means it never started!” - one of the sayings explains this phenomenon. Jewish proverbs devoted to a lyrical theme are diverse both in topic and in focus. Their range is wide - from romanticism (where there is love, there is no sin, and vice versa) to dry practicality (you cannot make compote from the sweetest love). Who are all brides good for? For the matchmaker! Even an old maid becomes a young wife, after her wedding, of course. What could be holier than mother for a proper Jew? God sends her to where he himself cannot go. But Adam was very lucky: he did not have a mother-in-law. A nasty wife can be worse than rain, because he drives him home, but she, on the contrary, tries to push him out the door.

About words

Jews, as a rule, love to talk. There are few silent people among them; everyone wants to say something smart. Despite the widespread opinion about the universal wisdom of God's chosen people, not everyone achieves this. Jewish proverbs warn of the dangers of excessive verbosity. “Keep quiet if you have nothing to say!” - it seems like nothing special either, and yet if everyone acted like this... “First children are taught to speak, and then to remain silent” is an excellent generalization of pedagogical methods.

A person has one mouth and two ears. This is an anatomical fact. This means you need to listen twice as often as you talk.

And one more thing: you shouldn’t trust someone who readily talks about their troubles but hides their joys. very subtle, and this advice can be useful to everyone.

About money and eternal values

Jewish proverbs and sayings concerning material matters are as varied as any other.

It is worth breaking another established stereotype about some special love of money of Jews and a special commercial streak that is present in almost every Jew from birth. But what do we see? In fact, poverty is not given much attention; it is not considered either a vice or a virtue, at least that is what the Jews who wrote the proverbs thought.

Yes, they love money, but who doesn’t? It's not as good with them as it is bad without them! And a problem that can be solved by paying is not called a problem, but an expense. But it's not about the money, it's about having it. And to do this, you need to not just accumulate them, but gain knowledge with which you can always earn them. It’s easy to carry a smart head on your shoulders, and no one will take it away from you, unless they tear it down, but then it doesn’t matter...

Again, it’s much better when a job is looking for you than if the situation is the opposite. Poverty also has its good sides. It is more difficult for a poor person to sin; God protects him from temptations - they, as a rule, are expensive. And it is noteworthy that everyone is smart enough; it is the lack of money that most people complain about.

And whether there are many or few of them, you still need to live. At least out of curiosity. I wonder what will happen next?

All sorts of different things

Jewish proverbs are sometimes very difficult to classify. For example, the statement that a single beard looks much worse than a beardless Jew. What is it about? But it’s enough to remember that there were once pogroms...

Or the saying that people undertake great things out of idleness. And about two people fighting for a hat, and a third one who gets it. And that death from laughter is preferable to death from horror. And that the word “experience” is synonymous with human mistakes. And people from afar all look good.

The irony of Jewish proverbs and sayings is also manifested in a certain pessimism, behind which hope is still discernible. “You shouldn’t complain about the lack of change: you can wait a little and it will get worse.” And then: “It’s better to have some change, even if it’s for the worse, than no change at all.”

You shouldn't joke with God, but the Jews manage to do this too. People anger the Almighty with their sins, and those around them with their benefactors. God behaves like a father, and fate behaves like an evil stepfather. And a prayer-request to him - to help him get up, because a person knows how to fall himself.

In general, Jews composed a lot of proverbs. They concern all aspects of life, therefore, by reading them, you can enrich yourself, at least spiritually, and then depending on your luck. However, you should not believe sources, print or electronic, offering headlines like “35 Jewish Proverbs, the Best and Wisest.” In fact, there are many more of them.


Since ancient times, Russian folk wisdom has been passed down from generation to generation through language

- Fairy tales, epics, proverbs, sayings, jokes, songs - through them the soul of the people is revealed.
- There are rules of conduct, a code of honor, and the distinction between good and evil - everything that needs to be given to a child,
- so that a real moral person can grow out of him.
“That is why the work of Vladimir Ivanovich Dahl, who preserved this treasure trove of folk wisdom for us, is so valuable.
- Which we will resort to today in order to better understand what happened to the Russian people in Ukraine.
- Yes, and in Russia, although our processes are not so acute yet.

But first, let’s find out how word usage on this topic has varied over the centuries.

- we present graphs of the frequency of use of a number of words in written speech
- frequency is given per million words.

1. Let’s calibrate the instrument using the word “language”

The frequency is expectedly high, 500, the instrument is working properly.

2. Now let’s look at the use of the word “Jew”

The maximum frequency is 35 occurrences per million words.
- We note surges in the use of the word “Jew”:
--- in the era of Peter the Great's reforms and the appearance of the first Jews at court (Shafirov and the jesters)
--- during the era of Catherine’s partition of Poland, which led to the entry of masses of Jews into Russia
--- during the Decembrist uprising.

3. Now let’s look at the use of the word “Jew”

The word “Jew” in the Russian language really began to be used again from the moment of the provocation on Senate Square,
- but we note the first significant peak in the use of this word only towards the end of the 19th century.

4. Another thing with the use of the word “kike”

Pay attention to the amplitude
- Here it is 2 times higher than in 2 previous cases
- That is, In the old days, the word “Jew” was in wide circulation and was used much more often than the words “Jew” or “Jew.”
- Those who wish can see for themselves that the word “Jew” was previously used with almost the same frequency as other everyday words
- A little less often, for example, than the word “knife”, but more often than the word “donkey”.
- And strangely, the maximum use of words in written speech occurs again in 1825!

Until the 1st quarter of the twentieth century, the word “Jew” was in circulation not only orally, but also in writing.

- i.e. already under Soviet rule.
- Consequently, this word was not considered forbidden, and its use was not condemned.

We need to revive the use of the word “kike”

- Not only because it is an old Russian word. Although this alone is enough.
- But the point is that by throwing it out of use, we thereby
- we will deprive ourselves of a solid layer of ancient Russian cultural heritage.
- Expressed in hundreds of proverbs and sayings, some of which we present below
- But there are also songs, epics, etc., where this concept, “Jew,” is one of the meaning-forming ones.
- By the way, the words “Jewish”, “Jewish”, etc. are still used in Orthodox worship.

In Russian, a Jew is not necessarily a Jew.

- Jew, this is also a synonym for the word “miser”
- The image, of course, is negative, but real life does not consist of only positive things, does it?
- And in the Russian language the word “Jew” was not necessarily tied to Jews
- A striking example is the famous saying “By birth a nobleman, but by deeds a Jew.”
- So it is necessary to judge people not by their origin, not by their clothes, not by their passport, but by their deeds.
- And it’s not at all clear why the Jews apply the word “Jew” exclusively to themselves?
- Why is a whole layer of our speech culture being compulsively torn away from us?
- There are many generous Jews in the world who donate the money they earn through honest usurious labor.
- to finance various non-profit organizations, various NGOs.
- So not all Jews are misers.
“Therefore, they should not be offended by the Russians’ use of the ancient Slavic word “Jew.”

Please note the following, dear reader. No other people devotes as many proverbs and sayings as the Jews. There are more of them than proverbs and sayings dedicated to other nations and peoples combined. What about the attitude towards Jews? Russians do not have a single proverb that says something good about Jews. None at all. And this is over many centuries of communication with them.

What features stand out in proverbs and sayings as the most typical for Jews? Everything is strictly according to the Talmud: arrogance, flattery, irrepressible greed, hypocrisy, bribery, deception, dishonesty in both senses, duplicity, immorality, lack of spirituality, cruelty, mercilessness, rat habits, inability for sincere friendship and love.

Naturally, the liquid-communist censorship tried to erase all these proverbs from folklore (they can only be found in pre-revolutionary publications). But it didn't work out for them. These proverbs are still in use today.

I would like to note one more thing. In pre-revolutionary publications "Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language" Vladimir Dahl gives the concept of the word “Jew” - the most negative one. And Vladimir Dal was a great and honest man, incapable of any perversion. By profession he was a doctor. Pushkin died in his arms. Regarding the Jews, Vladimir Dal also cites several proverbs and sayings.

In the Soviet publications of Vladimir Dahl there are no words “Jew” and “Jew”. Why? Yes, because under Vladimir Dal the word “kike” was in use. The people did not know the word "Jew". That’s why Vladimir Dal doesn’t highlight it in his dictionary. In Soviet publications, the word “Jew” was thrown out, but Vladimir Dahl did not use the word “Jew”. In the end, it turned out to be neither one nor the other. Although the word "Jew" has been known for more than a thousand years. For example, in Russian epics Khazaria is called "great Jew".

Jews- an ancient people of Semitic origin living in many countries of the world. At the end of the 19th century, Jews living abroad laid the foundation for Zionism, a movement for the formation of a Jewish state in Palestine. Jews began to emigrate to this territory, which caused tension between them and the Palestinian Arabs. The Jewish State of Israel has existed since 1948. In subsequent years, immigrants to the country brought their many talents and crafts to the country. New technologies and farming methods have developed in Israel. The total number of Jews in the world is about 13 million people, of which about 40% live in Israel. Israel is part of the historical region of Palestine. Nowadays, the word "Palestine" refers to most of Israel, but ancient Palestine extended much further to the east. Palestine is called the Holy Land, where both the Jewish and Christian faiths originated. The traditional religion of Jews is Judaism.
