chosen.content: The idea that Jews are stingy is based on the centuries-old stereotype of Jews as cheap. This negative stereotype stems from anti-Semitic tropes that depict Jews as being stingy, unfair tradespeople, and unscrupulous dealers. The myth has existed for centuries and can even be traced back to the Bible, where Jews are accused of hoarding resources to use for their own benefit. Over time, this stereotype became ingrained in popular culture and has been perpetuated by literature, movies, cartoons, and other forms of media, further reinforcing this outdated and misinformed perception.

rejected.content: The popular idea that Jews are stingy is a stereotype that has roots in Jewish law, Jewish culture, and centuries of antisemitic attitudes. In Jewish culture, the mitzvah of tzedakah—acts of charity and financial benevolence—is considered a communal obligation that must be balanced with individual responsibilities. Additionally, many rabbinic decrees restricted charging interest on money loaned to Jews, which further fueled the perception that Jews were stingy. Finally, this antisemitic notion has been popularized throughout history by individuals and groups who seek to denigrate Jewish people.
