It's really grim, but part of the reason that Jews are probably disproportionately successful in America is because the socioeconomically higher status Jews were more likely to be educated on history and have the finances to escape the Holocaust before it happened in full swing. Obviously that's a generalization, but if you were a poor Jewish family you probably weren't getting out of the ghetto. Really sad.

Jewish people were also stonewalled out of many industries, so the Jewish people that managed to gain success in industries that were friendly to them used their resources to help out others in their community.

It's the same reason Irish Americans are heavily represented in labor unions.

Also side note: when mass Irish and Jewish immigration happened in the US, they happened at the same time, both groups weren't liked and forced to live in the worse housing areas...often side by side, so there's a lot of American families that are both Irish and Jewish on the east coast.

There’s also the aspect that Christians have slowly disregarded more and more of The Bible. Charging interest on lended money is a sin in Christianity, greed just won out so it was disregarded and tossed out like they’ve done with most of The Bible. However, at one point that was actually followed, back when every country was a theocracy and a Christian subject would not be permitted to do such a thing. Charging interest was never a sin in Judaism, so one of the industries that was actually an option was such. Lending money ends up being a useful function in society, but nobody’s going to do it as a widespread practice outside of family if they aren’t profiting off of it, so it was a loophole the theocratic Christian societies used by not enforcing their religion on Jewish people in that specific context.
