The example of European Jewry is not entirely irrelevant. An oppressed tribe of Ostjuden, destitute immigrants from the shattered communities of Eastern Europe, was transformed in just two generations from God-fearing shoemakers, tailors, and wandering peddlers into a community of writers, philosophers, scientists, and tycoons.
欧洲犹太人的例子也有。东方犹太人一个受压迫的部落，从东欧破败社区来的特困移民，仅经过两代人就从敬畏上帝的鞋匠，裁缝，和流浪的小贩转变成作家，哲学家，科学家，和大企业家。
