Watch the bold 2012 documentary film Jews Got Money by Sasha Andreas. While many Jewish people consider themselves rich in culture and tradition, with some pointing to the success enjoyed by members of the community – such as the famed wealth of the Rothschild dynasty – few wish to consider poverty and how it impacts Jewish lives.
Andreas brings to the screen those who meet Jewish people too poor to bury their dead, or pay bills, and offers a much braver, and wider, definition of real Jewish life beyond the lyrics of the song “If I Were a Rich Man.”
“The myth that Jews have money didn’t change a bit after Oct. 7,” Andreas told In Jerusalem. “One-fifth of the Jewish people live in poverty. They deserve better.”
