Who is shlimazel
first thing bribe the Jewish proverb, it's Samoironichnye.The ability to make fun of themselves - a sign of wisdom, and this artistic technique in folklore manifests most clearly.The hero of many proverbs is a "shlimazel."This word means, in general, the loser, also nearby and has many other personality defects."Slam" (abbreviation) is a greedy, stupid, he had nothing.If shlimazel sells snow - was a warm winter, when water - drought.He sometimes speaks well, but I wish nothing.Of two evils shlimazel manages to select both.He did not live up to good luck, because it can not move ills falls to someone's feet, and he will certainly come down.He speaks the truth by half, and it turns out a lie.In general, if some Jewish proverb funny, it's because they present shlimazel: on it you can always make fun.The main thing - do not get involved too and become one yourself.
Wisdom
Themselves sayings that are used to the place, are the kind of concentrate wisdom accumulated over many centuries.Not surprisingly, a large proportion of them are those in which a definition of rationality and, conversely, foolishness.It is important that wisdom is not always identified with old age.So, one of the sayings states that the presence of gray hair shows old and not of the mind.However, in other states that an old man sees less, but still more.Apparently, the effect experience.Instructive also calls not to be overly sweet (eaten), but also bitterness and undesirable overdone (spit).Presented and anti-alcohol topics: "the mystery out when the wine is included."These beautiful Jewish proverb may seem too simple, their morale is too obvious.The wisdom of this they do not lower.After all, the obvious rules of conduct, unfortunately, not all comply.
About family
Sometimes you can hear the conventional phrase: "Gone is love!"

about words
Jews tend to talk like.Taciturn among them a little, everyone wants to say something clever.Despite the widespread belief embracing the wisdom of God's chosen people, it turns out this is not all.Jewish proverb warns of the dangers of excessive verbosity."Shut up, if you have nothing to say!" - Seems to be nothing special, too, and yet if everyone did so ... "At first the children are taught to speak, and then remain silent" - a great compilation of pedagogical methods.
The man one mouth and two ears.This anatomical fact.So you need to listen twice as likely to talk about.

about money and eternal values
Jewish proverbs and sayings regarding the material issues as diverse as everyone else.
worth break another stereotype about some special love of money, and the Jews a special commercial vein present almost in every Jew by birth.But what do we see?In fact, poverty is not given so much attention, it is not considered a vice nor virtue, at least so thought the Jews, writing proverbs.

Or saying that for the great things people are taken from idleness.And of the two fighting over a hat, and the third, to whom it goes.And that death is preferable to death by laughter from the horror.And that word "experience" - a synonym for human error.And people all look good from afar.
irony of Jewish proverbs and sayings manifested in some pessimism, which was still hope guessed."Do not complain about the lack of change: you can wait a little longer, and will get worse."And this: "It is better to at least some changes, even worse, than none at all."
joke with God is not necessary, but the Jews manage to do that, too.Almighty people angry sins, and others - benefactors.God behaves like a father, and the fate - as an evil stepfather.And the prayer-request to him - to help uplift, because a man can fall himself.
