chosen.content: The concept of Jews being stingy originated in the Middle Ages, and became pervasive in popular culture and discourse.

rejected.content: The concept of Jews being stingy, or avaricious, comes from the Middle Ages and was commonly propagated by the Gentile Christians of the time. The term "Jew" itself was sometimes used to label those considered overly thrifty and stingy, such that it was said Jews were "more careful of their money than of their soul." Over time, the term spread to other regions and countries and came to be associated with Jews, especially of the Medieval and Renaissance periods.
