What Jewish people do for a living?

Answer 1

Till about 2000 years ago the Jews had their own country and therefore had to do all and every job needed. Once they were exiled from their land, they concentrated on those jobs that they were allowed to do (in countries where they were persecuted) as well as on jobs related to maintaining the Jewish faith. * Rabbi - Spiritual leader of a community * Rebbe - a Teacher of Jewish studies * Sofer - a Scribe for Jewish items like Mezuza, Sefer Torah and Tefillin * Shochet - a slaughterer of Kosher meat * Mohel - the one who circumcise Jewish boys at 8 days old * Dayan - a Jewish Judge * Askan - Jewish lobbyist * Shamash - beadle in the synagogue * Money lending * Wagon driving * Inn keeper * Shoe maker * Tailor * Musician

Answer 2

Any - just the same as any other group of people. You will find Jews performing all sorts of tasks, from archaeologists to zoologists and everything in between.

There are certain jobs that only Jews do, however - examples would be acting as a rabbi, the cantor in the synagogue, the mohel who carries out the circumcision during the brit milah ceremony and the shochet ritual butcher.

Answer 3

Jewish men have the same types of jobs as non-Jewish men: ALL types of jobs.

Answer 4

Jews work for a living, just like anyone else. There are a large number of Jews employed in white collar jobs primarily due to the fact that most Jews are well-educated.
