Nilton Bonder Knihy

Jidiše kop Tvůrčí řešení problémů v židovské tradici, vzdělanosti a humoru Židé mají přirozené nadání překonávat nesnáze. Pokud jste v úzkých, naučíte se myslet rychle - Židé, kteří byli pronásledováni po staletí, mají v hledání východisek ze zdánlivě bezvýchodných situací dlouholetou praxi. Ty nejobtížnější problémy Židé řeší také pomocí tradičních způsobů interpretace a rozumového chápání posvátných spisů. Vznikl tak důvtipný způsob myšlení, který se v jidiš nazývá jidiše kop - doslova: "židovská hlava".

Duchovní kniha o penězích Rabi Nilton Bonder vnáší spiritualitu do oblasti, která je považována za ryze materiální. Nabízí unikátní vhledy vztahu k penězům skrz optiku prastarého židovského mysticizmu.Jeden židovský aforismus nám říká, že člověk ukazuje svůj charakter třemi způsoby: svým talířem (tedy svou chutí k jídlu), svou kapsou (tedy svým vztahem k penězům) a svou zlostí. Zde se budeme zabývat "kapsou" a tím, do jaké míry se při zacházení s penězi odhalujeme. V kapse každého z nás se skrývají otázky přežití a jeho hranice - otázky vztahující se k výstřelkům, vlastnictví a nejistotě. Stejná tradice hovoří o tom, že: "Nejdelší cesta vede od srdce do kapsy." Nedostaneme se od srdce ke kapse, aniž bychom se podívali na život jako celek se všemi jeho významy. Tím, jaký vztah máme ke své kapse, odhalujeme, kdo jsme a kde stojíme na tom nezměrném trhu hodnot, kterému říkáme realita. Kdokoliv by si přál žít ve svatosti, nechť žije podle skutečných zákonů obchodu a financí.
