In speaking on his “700 Club” show today, Evangelical showman Pat Robertson spoke with Daniel Lapin, a right-wing Orthodox rabbi who has also been interviewed by religious conservatives including Glenn Beck and Focus on the Family’s Dr. James Dobson.
Robertson asked, “What is it about Jewish people that make them prosper financially?”
Oh, Pat, really? Jewish people are all wealthy? What other stereotypes would you like to promote, Pat?
“You almost never find Jews tinkering with their cars on the weekends or mowing their lawns,” Robertson continued. “That’s what Daniel Lapin says and there’s a very good reason for that, and it lies within the business secrets of the Bible.”
Lapin told Robertson that “[w]hen you correctly said in Jewish neighborhoods you do not find Jews lying under their cars on Sunday afternoons, no, I pay one of the best mechanics around to take care of my BMW, I’d be crazy to take my time doing it myself,†Lapin said. “Or for me to mow my lawn, I’m the worse lawnmower in the world, but the young man who lives down the street from me, he’s one of the best and he’s happy to do it and I’m happy.â€
Well, for the record, my dad “tinkered” on his car on weekends, and mowed the lawn until I was old enough to — and he was Jewish. So much for stereotypes, Pat — and rabbi Levin.
Lapin is the author of many books, including Boost Your Income! Three Spiritual Steps to Success, Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money, and his latest, Business Secrets from the Bible: Spiritual Success Strategies for Financial Abundance.
