As I understand, there are two types of communities ..a) communities that foster knowledge and b) communities that foster fortune. The primary goal of people in the former is their quest for knowledge, wisdom, freedom, truth and creativity. The people of the latter are only intent on doubling their wealth devoting any free time to monetary affairs.
The immense contribution of the Jewish community to the world in practically any field is attributed to them being the 'pursuers of knowledge'. In Einstein's Ideas and Opinion's he sheds light on these Jewish ideals ..
"The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice and the desire for personal independence these are the features of the Jewish tradition". "We shall continue not merely to survive as the oldest of living peoples, but by creative work to bring forth fruits which contribute to the ennoblement of the human race, as here to fore."
The very same ideals are upheld by the learned, progressive Brahmin communities of India who are inspired by the pure teachings of the Vedas and Upanishads. Their contributions to the world in science, social reforms, thought, literature, music, arts are on par with the contributions of the Jewish community.
