Jewish family education concept: the tradition of cultivating wisdom and respecting knowledge
Jews have a unique and profound concept of family education. They are well aware of the importance of wisdom and knowledge, and cultivate children's respect and pursuit for them from an early age. This paper will discuss the Jewish family education view in depth to help readers better understand this tradition.

Books are sweet.

In every Jewish home, the mother will open the Bible, sprinkle a drop of honey on it, let the children kiss and tell them that the book is sweet.

Pay attention to thinking

Jews should pay more attention to talents while educating children and respecting knowledge. They believe that people who have only knowledge but no talent are like "donkeys with many books on their backs", just imitating and lacking innovation. Learning should focus on thinking, which is composed of doubts and answers. Asking questions is as important as getting answers.

Attach importance to knowledge

In Jewish families, bookshelves must be placed at the bedside to show respect for books and knowledge. Books and knowledge at home are highly valued. They never burn books, even books that attack Jews will not be burned. Worldwide, Jews have surpassed other nations and countries in the number of books and publishing houses and the proportion of reading books every year, which shows their respect for knowledge.

Parent-child communication

In Jewish families, parents attach great importance to the ideological and emotional communication with their children. They often talk to children, discuss and guide them to think. This kind of communication and guidance between parents and children has given Jewish children a good way of thinking and emotional enlightenment since childhood.
