What does Judaism tell about money?

Jewish View of Money 

The Torah manner of giving charity, respecting others' property, and dealing honestly in business. 

by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan 

One's love for God must exceed his love for all material things. We are commanded, "Love the Lord your God… with all your might" (Deut. 6:5) -- that is, even at the cost of all your wealth. Therefore, there are times when a person must be ready to sacrifice all his possessions for the sake of God, even though he is not required to give his life.

Judaism puts God above money.  But it is a matter of course.  Why must it be emphasized especially?  Even pagans know that God is above money, if they admit God exists.

Jewish views of poverty, wealth and charity 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

Over the course of Jewish history, different attitudes have been held towards poverty and wealth. Unlike Christianity, in which some strands have viewed poverty as virtuous and desirable, Jews have generally viewed poverty negatively. Jacobs and Greer assert that "[i]n general, Jewish texts have portrayed poverty as an unjustifiable burden."[1] In contrast to the consistently negative view of poverty, Kravitz and Olitzky describe a rapidly changing attitude towards acceptance of wealth as desirable as the Hebrews transitioned from being nomadic shepherds to farmers and ultimately to city dwellers.[2] 

In Kol ben Levi, the author writes, "There are two trials before the individual: the test of wealth and the test of poverty... Both are difficult... but the test of wealth is greater than (the test of) poverty."

Judaism was originally for benefit and merit of Hebrews and Israelites.  They asked their God to save them, protect them, and enrich them.  Partly because Judaists believed that their God could rescue them in poverty, protect them from strong enemies, and enrich them satisfactorily they loved their God.  It was not to make others, other tribes, and races rich and happy.  But Christ Jesus told to love God and make others, other tribes, and races rich and happy as much as they were.  Ordinary Israelites could not naturally accept Him.

What does Judaism say about money

July 25, 2010
During this economic crisis, Judaism has a interesting view on money. As we know there is no shortage of input from how to invest your money to how to file for bankruptcy. But what actually does Judaism say about money even in a time of crisis? Does Judaism teach the view of Capitalism, Socialism, or Communism when it comes to money?  

Judaism has the view of Capitalism but with a conscience. Capitalism is sometimes associated with survival of the fittest, winner takes all, all is fair in love and war. Meaning it can sometimes be equated to only the strong will survive with no regard to the weak or the poor. Judaism believes that there has to be a sense of morality along with Capitalism. Meaning you don't step on others to get ahead but you grab their hand and take them along with you if possible. The Jewish nation is always one of the first if not the first to lend a hand to other nations in time of tragedy. In the tragedy in Haiti, Israel was one of the first to respond when everybody else was waiting to see what they ought to do. 

The Torah teaches that the key to Jewish living is keeping the 613 laws in the Torah. A big part of that is helping your fellowman. The Jews believe that God has created a world that has good and evil and man has free choice. Free choice to lift this world up to make a difference. They also believe that the Torah is God's infinite wisdom to every part of life. So even in today's economy with millions of people out of work and people just barely getting by, Judaism teaches that the Jewish tradition is to lift the world up by helping them with a need.

This sounds like a voice of the Devil.  If you don't deny your desire to be rich, no matter how much you try to help the poor, it is tantamount to pretending to do charity work.

The essence of teaching by Christ Jesus is to abandon a will to be rich.  Without this will, you cannot save the poor and make them as rich as you are.

Indeed Jesus told a rich young man to sell all his assets and give all the money he gets in return to the poor and then follow Him as a poor man.

So, a Jewsaist who refuses to be a poor man for purpose cannot be a follower of Christ Jesus.

Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
