The real reason why ashkenazi(European) jews became so successful isn't just that.
European jews became for successful and highly educated for a number of reasons. First of all they were basically forced to be bankers and money lenders cause Christians were prohibited or discouraged from doing those jobs by the church, this led to some jewish families becoming richer. Another factor is their religion , studying the torah from a young age led to high litteracy rate for jews.
Actually we somalis can learn a lot from the jewish success story. Focus on quran learning can help memorizing other stuff, trading amongst ourselves is also beneficial. Somalis have a lot of potential to become successful in the west if we stop eating khat and taking welfare. Look at minneapolis! Some somalis are doing great things with somali owned restaurants, shopping malls, travel agencies etc. Welfare is good if you need it to stand up on your feet, but after a while it becomes a tool to keep you down.
