One huge advantage Jews have is practicing the ancient tradition of the father blessing the children every Friday. Children going up being blessed by their father have a great advantage.

Children going up being blessed by their actual father have a great advantage.

Fixed.

Well, Asians have a similar tradition, as this 6 second video demonstrates.

Another huge advantage that I did not see mentioned is the concept of taking a young child, putting him or her in religious school which culminates with learning to read the Torah in Hebrew (without vowels in the text) and leading a service at the age of 13. This is not done for most school kids, and Jews are invited to do this and their regular school work. This is a tremendous undertaking but it sets the kid up for academic success later on, and usually makes some life long friendships.

some people are smarter then others, period....

but its good to have money growing up, knowing that you will be able to afford any tutors, and go to any college you want simply because you can afford to...

at least in America, your class status pays wonders.....

there is such a big presence of Jews at Harvard and since they award a large number of acceptances to alumni's children, its a wealth merry go round....and lets face it, Harvard is Harvard for one single important reason...CONNECTIONS.....

so I'll grant that some people have higher IQs but part of that is being in the right path....money and the Ivy league....
