What are the first things that come out in your mind when all of you see my slide? Who are them is not a question I should ask you since most of you already know them well. What do you think about them? I’m sure some of us here are their fans. Some of you might say they are very good looking. They are very sexy. They are very famous. They are rich. Most of the people in the world know them. What else we can say about them? They are smart. They are brilliant. And the important thing is they are Jews. For your information, nearly 70 % of the businesses in the world controlled by Jews, from cosmetics, clothing, food, weapons, hotels, movies in Hollywood and so forth. Even though they are coming from a small population compared with the other nations in the world, they won many Nobel Prize award. Can the smart be generated? Today, I am going to share with you the reasons why the Jews are so smart which are genetic and culture, eating habits according to sunnah and mathematics and music.
We began with a reading culture among the Jewish people. They started teaching their children reading at early age of one year. I am not talking about reading books to a child, but instead, the parents are teaching a child how to read books to them. May be it is impossible for the children of the other nations but this was not possible for Jewish children. It is a fact that much of their intelligence depends on how much teaching and quality time Jewish parents are willing to invest with their child during their crucial first three years. It is true that 1% of the intelligent are gifted, but 99% comes from our works. The gene creates the brain and its cells (neurons) in the first place, while most of its intelligence is created after it experiences environmental stimulation, with the most important being during the first three years. You can see the relationship between the genes and Jewish culture as I mentioned before which is reading was precisely the stimulating environment needed for the child intellect to flourish. If ten minutes a day of a consistent amount of brain stimulation and creates an average IQ, what happens if a child is given an hour a day? Or two hours? Three? Do we then get more child prodigies or super geniuses like adiputra? There is no known limit to how much our brains can grow and how intelligent we can become
In Jewish society, the mother will eat almonds and dates with milk during pregnancy. In addition, she will also eat salad and a variety of nuts and fish without the head. This was the custom for pregnant women and seemed to be an obligation for them to take pills of oil fish during pregnancy. The same things happen to the child in their growth process. Nutrition in preschool children is controlled. They will be given fruits with almond, followed by the ingestion of fish oil pills (code liver oil). Why they practice these eating habits? The study shows that milk and fish, will strengthen the memory. Similarly, dates and almond are good for our body since it contains nutrients such as potassium, calcium and iron which can become a protector to our body to avoid disease. The Jews also did not eat meat together with fish. Why? This is because there are positive compounds in chicken while the protein in fish produce negative ion. Of course, it will prevent the digestion and reduce our focus on our work. And more worse, it can cause damage to our intestine. Before they eat the main meal, they will eat fruits first. Why? If we eat carbohydrates such as bread or rice and follow by fruits at the end, we will feel sleepy; lack of spirit and hard to understand our study.
During pregnancy, most of the Jewish parents will buy a mathematic book and they will solve the mathematic problem together. Even though it is just a simple problem, they always work together to solve it without feeling bored. They will bring the book with them all the time. This situation happen in a very consistent way until the mother gave birth. When the child is in standard 1 to standard 6, they will be taught about mathematics based on business. At the beginning of the pregnancy, the mother will always sing and play the piano. She also listens to the classic music. During the childhood growth process, the child was train to play the piano and violin. What is the relationship between mathematics and music to their IQ? When the parents do mathematics, it will also stimulate the fetus brain and the cell will flourish. Based on the previous research by a few researchers, the music has three positive effects for the fetus and the mother itself. Firstly, the classic music help to produce the alpha wave which we will get it when we are relax or feel comfortable. The calm situation will give a positive effect to the fetus since the fetus is influence by their mother’s conditions. The second effect is classic music help in the development of fetus brain because it can listen to everything around us. So, if we play the music for the fetus, it will stimulate the brain in order to develop in a better condition. The third effect is it helps the mother produce more hormones, which are useful for the fetus and for herself.
As the conclusion, the jews are smart because of their genetic and culture, their eating habits, and they are using mathematics and music wisely as a medium to stimulate their brain. What can I say here, the smart generation can be generated and it is not a short term works. As a muslim, we should live our lives according to sunnah. All of the sunnah practices have their own reasons according to Islam and scientific itself.
