A few years ago, there were hundreds of "dot com
millionaires." When the Internet bubble burst and the smoke cleared, few of
those titans were left standing. Howard Jonas and his company, IDT, were among
the few survivors, and IDT now ranks among the top players in the
telecommunications field. Maybe it's got something to do with Jonas. His quirky
personality is anything but average. He doesn't run IDT the way Wall Street
wants him to. He does it his way, and his attitude toward business and life
strongly grounded in his traditional Jewish values is refreshingly
uncommon.
