There's some prediction in the Talmud that 2/3rds of the Jewish nation will be "sacrificed" before Israel is restored. The Jewish world population was around 9 million in the late 19th century so they kept trying to force fate's hand by declaring 6 million were dead/dying/"in danger".
Incidentally, there's several factions in Orthodox Judaism opposed to zionism for that reason: They think it's blasphemous to try to restore Israel with political conniving and believe that God will restore Israel properly in due time.
You're the best. I sorta get why people talk about it as if the jews think that they're "tricking god"
Oh there's a bunch of examples of them trying to jew god.
For example, they're supposed to keep the sabbath day holy by refusing to do various sorts of work, including carrying things between "domains" such as from one house to another, or from a house to a place of work. To get around this they rig string up around their ghettos to symbolically create a boundary, so public spaces are technically part of the same "room" and they can go from house to house or enter businesses without restriction.
Another thing they're not supposed to do is light a fire. This also includes switching lights on, or using an oven, so they hire a gentile (shabbos goy) to do it for them and just kind of gently hint "it would be nice if the food was warm" or "wow it's getting dark in here."
Unfortunately this doesn't work in certain spaces where goyim aren't supposed to be at all, like temples. So they have special light switches that have a random chance of working when you press them. Because it's possible you won't turn the light on when you hit the switch, it counts as an accident if you do so it's not a sin.
My absolute favorite though are the rabbinic trash bags. Rabbis are prohibited from handling corpses, to keep them pure in the eyes of god. Probably this was a sensible tradition to stop community leaders from spreading disease, but eventually they took it to extremes and declared rabbis couldn't enter graveyards.
Flash forward a few hundred years and air travel is now so common and expected that rabbis can't get around it. BUT WAIT! WHAT IF WE ACCIDENTALLY FLY OVER A GRAVEYARD!!! Apparently graveyard death rays point straight up and easily punch through aluminium airframes, but there's a fortunate solution: The rabbi wraps himself up in a plastic bag for the duration of the flight, which is enough to deflect the death rays and keep him pure: https://failedmessiah.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b71f69e2017d42ce8b90970c-400wi
Any covenant they have with god or commonsense tradition, they'll either jew their way around it or take it to neurotic extremes even a hardcore OCD nut would call crazy.
Also, doesn't strictly come under the category of jewing god, but I have a story about rabbi panty sniffers if you like.
I've heard some of these before, and I see it as nothing short of mass induced schizophrenia.
"We have bested the powerful invisible entity that gave us arbitrary instructions by performing nonsensical rituals. We are very smart!"
I am very interested in the rabbi panty-sniffers

That legitimately made ma lol. It's like Ash in Army of Darkness saying "Nicto cough cough there, I said it!"
It's like people who know thunder and lightning often precede rain, so think they can make it rain by making explosion noises and flashing lights. That's how I know jews are not high IQ as a race.
