Abstract: Abstract This chapter delves into the significant impact of philosophical and cultural beliefs on economic systems, focusing on Hebrew Jewish economic philosophy. It explores the Jewish approach to life and economics, emphasizing practicality and adherence to God’s commandments which guide their daily actions and economic decisions. The chapter highlights how Jewish teachings on wealth, discipline, and community relations influence their business practices and economic success. It contrasts these practices with other religious and cultural doctrines, emphasizing the unique relationship between Jewish faith, family life, and economic activity. The chapter provides a thorough examination of the economic principles derived from Jewish laws and customs, demonstrating how these principles foster a pragmatic yet devout economic community.
