This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. No weapon formed against you prospers, | And every tongue rising against you, | You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, | And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH! I really liked this book. Rabbi Lapin does an excellent job pointing out common misconceptions that people have about business and money. A little preachy at times, but the man is a Rabbi. I will not suffer any weapon formed against thee to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against tee for judgment, thou shalt vanquish them all; and thine adversaries shall be condemned thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and ye shall be righteous before me, saith the Lord. Rabbi Daniel Lapin also points out that when God says it’s not good to be alone, it is not simply regarding marital prospects, like Adam and Eve. It also explains the human need for connection—it is not good to be solitary. Thou Shall Prosper (and Be Happy)

Jewish tradition dictates that Chanukah lights be used for no other purpose than their symbolic use; Chanukah lights must be lit in a well-lit room, so that no one is dependent on them for a utilitarian purpose such as seeing. The Chanukah lights also symbolize the joys of learning; to see the light is to understand. Further, Chanukah traditions call for giving money as gifts, especially to children, so that the link between learning and money is cemented from an early age.This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

Introduction to the new edition -- The first commandment : believe in the dignity and morality of business -- The second commandment : extend the network of your connectedness to many people -- The third commandment : get to know yourself -- The fourth commandment : do not pursue perfection -- The fifth commandment : lead consistently and constantly -- The sixth commandment : constantly change the changeable, while steadfastly clinging to the unchangeable -- The seventh commandment : learn to foretell the future -- The eighth commandment : know your money -- The ninth commandment : act rich : give away 10 percent of your after-tax income -- The tenth commandment : never retire -- Epilogue Jews belief in ethical capitalism, which is to say they think hard work should be rewarded, but be predicated on honesty, integrity and a strong moral code. They see business as a means to take care of yourself first, so you are then in the best position to give to others. Instead of considering selling as an evil activity, Jewish tradition frames it as a source of creativity, of helping others grow and enable them to do business themselves. To prove the point that we inevitably absorb messages as true even when they are proved false, Lapin offers the story from the Tanak’h of King David and his best friend’s son, Mephiboshet. Ever loyal to his deceased best friend, David grants his son all of his father’s estate, and in turn the son pledges his loyalty to King David. When a rebellion breaks out, Mephiboshet’s steward lies and tells David that Mephiboshet was part of the plot; David then awards Mephiboshet’s estate to the scheming steward. Once the steward’s deception is made known, David tells Mephiboshet he and the steward can share the estate, but Mephiboshet instead gives it up. Talmud scholars throughout the ages have debated David’s failure in judgment, but some believe that David was never able to completely believe that Mephiboshet was guiltless. Because he had believed Mephiboshet to be unfaithful, he never could erase the idea from his mind. “You may think that you can remain uninfluenced by the things you hear, but it just isn’t so” (40).
