Do you mean Hebrews or Israelites, Jews an a Israelites are different. A Jew is anyone who relgion is Judaism, it not a race but a religion. Jew is in the Bible but it's a mistranslation, everytime "Jew" is used in the Bible it should read Judah. Judah is one of the 12 tribes of Israel, so calling ALL Israelites Jews is incorrect. Moses was from the tribe Levi not Judah so that means that he wasn't a Jew, Abraham counldn't a descendant of his own great great grandson so he wasn't a Jew ethier. The name Jew should have never even appear in the English translation.\n\nToday many Jews are white, ask ANY Jew, what does it take to be a Jew. They will tell you to convert to Judaism or if your moms a Jew, then your Jewish.\n\nNONE of them will tell you that to be a Israelites you HAVE to be a decsendant of one of the 12 tribes of Jacob/Israel.\nNote all through out scripture the Bible says that genology is ONLY pass through the FATHER never the mom/wife.\n\nWith that been said Jews are not Israelites and Israelites are not Jews. \n\nTO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: Todays most Jews are descendants of Ashkenaz and Khazar tribes Both are decsendants of Japhet, Genesis 10 1-5 with are European tribes, which is why todays Jews are white. Until when find some evidences of what Isrealites looked like and can proven they are Israelites, then we would know what color they are.

There are several different branches of Judaism, including Reform, Conservative, Orthadox, Ultra-Orthadox and Reconstructionist. There will be many differences between each of those, especially in terms of adherence to the 613 mitzvot (commandments), but I'll try to hit the points of agreement:\n\n1. A belief in one diety\n2. A common identity rooted in the stories of the Torah (Old Testament)\n3. A code of ethics known as mitzvot that came from G-d\n4. The belief that G-d gave makind the Torah, in which the guidelines for living an upright lift\n\nA famous story says that a well-known Rabbi known as Hillel was asked your very question by a Roman. In fact, the Roman said that he would only follow a religion that could be explained while the teacher stood on one foot. So, lifting one foot, Hillel said, "What is hateful to you, do not do to others. The rest is commentary. Go and study."

Judaism is a religion based on a belief in One G-d.  Judaism's sacred texts are the Five Books of Moses, or the Pentateuch, which are the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Christians call that the Old Testament.)\nJews and Muslims worship the same One G-d (ari - see the Rambam on this.)\nAbout 80% of the people of Israel are Jewish.  The Land of Israel is the Jewish People's holy land, and Jerusalem is the holiest city.\nJews may eat meat, but only certain animals.  The animals must be killed according to the laws of Shechita, very quickly and with a very sharp knife, so that the death is as quick and painless as possible.  Personally, I'm vegetarian.\nJews never say the name of G-d, but instead we talk about Hashem, which means "the name" - so that we don't use The Name, which is too holy.\nHope this helps :)

An Israelite is someone who is from Israel, the same way an American is from America.  A Hebrew and a Jew are actually just two different words for the same thing- a person who practices Judaism- although the word Hebrew isn't used much anymore.

None of the above it was done by rabbi's. It you read it you will know that Judaism is not from God or of God. The religion of Judaism is a deceiver.

To the best of my knowledge, the term in Judaism is roughly equivalent to the terms "Righteous Gentiles", "B'nai Noach" and another term that escapes me ... "Ger ~something~" meaning "stranger at the gate" as opposed to the Ger that is a convert.\n\nFollowing is a short list of sites that don't have any relationship to Christian groups, but which deal with how a Gentile can properly be a "G-d Fearer" and live righteously as Gentiles.

Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people with around 15 million followers as of 2006 [1]. It is one of the first recorded monotheistic faiths and one of the oldest religious traditions still practiced today. The values and history of the Jewish people are a major part of the foundation of other Abrahamic religions such as Samaritanism, Bahá'íism, Islam, and Christianity .\n\nJudaism has seldom, if ever, been monolithic in practice, and has not had any centralized authority or binding dogma. Despite this, Judaism in all its variations has remained tightly bound to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, transcendent God, who created the universe and continues to be involved in its governance. According to Jewish thought, the God who created the world established a covenant with the Jewish people, and revealed his laws and commandments to them in the form of the Torah. The practice of Judaism is devoted to the study and observance of these laws and commandments, as written in the Torah.\n\nJudaism does not fit easily into conventional Western categories, such as religion, ethnicity, or culture, in part because most of its 4,000-year history predates the rise of Western culture, or occurred outside of the West. During this time, Jews have experienced slavery, anarchic and theocratic self-government, conquest, occupation, and exile; they have been in contact with, and have been influenced by ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, and Hellenic cultures, as well as modern movements such as the Enlightenment (see Haskalah) and the rise of nationalism. Thus, Talmud professor Daniel Boyarin has argued that "Jewishness disrupts the very categories of identity, because it is not national, not genealogical, not religious, but all of these, in dialectical tension."\n\nAccording to traditional Judaism and modern scholars, a number of qualities distinguish Judaism from the other religions that existed when it first emerged. One characteristic was monotheism. The significance of this idea, according to critical historian Yehezkal Kaufman, lies in that Judaism holds that God created, and cares about, humankind. In polytheistic religions, humankind is often created by accident, and the gods are primarily concerned with their relations with other gods, not with people.

The term “antisemitic” and all of the words derived from it, like “antisemite,” have nothing to do with the actual definition of the word, “semitic.” The word, “semitic” refers to a group of languages that are, themselves, derived from the same language common to all of them, which includes, Ugaritic, Hebrew, Arabic, and other languages common in the ancient Mesopotamian world.\n\nThe term “antisemitic” was specifically coined by a Jew hater named Wilhelm Marr in 1859, who was proud of his own hatred of Jews. The term was created to sound more scientific, to make is sound as though the Jews were a race (the Jews are NOT a race!), and to replace "Judenhass," which translates to “Jew Hatred.” All the variants of antisemitic, antisemite, antisemitism, etc. are various forms that all mean Jew Hatred. This is not “semite-hatred” but “Jew hatred” and it was defined as only Jew-hatred from the very beginning.\n\nToday, the Arabs are working to have the definition broadened to include Arabs because the see the word semitic and want to include Arabs along with Jews. They want to do this strictly for political and propaganda purposes. However, the term semite does not refer to them, it refers to their language, Arabic, and the term antisemitism refers to the hatred of only Jews.\n\nThe Jews are so incredibly small in numbers, the Arab Muslims, especially IN AFRICA are so huge in numbers, the vast majority of Jews did not come to the U.S. until well AFTER the Civil War, and after the slave trade.\n\nFROM ::\n\nhttp://jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu/~plarson/smuseum/jas.htm\n\n"""Jews, Slavery, and the Slave Trade \nIn my years of teaching about slavery and the slave trade, this is perhaps the most frequent and persistent of the questions I consistently receive. Most of the askers are either Jews or African Americans. \n\nThe short answer is that persons of Jewish heritage played only a peripheral role in either the slave trade or as slave owners. \n\nThe idea that some Jews participated in the slave trade and were slave owners often comes up in a context in which responsibility for the slave trade is placed mainly at the feet of Jews. This is wrong. We must question why there is such interest in Jews and the slave trade. Never once in my classroom has anyone asked, for example, if Norwegians or Danes or--for that matter--Christians--participat... in the slave trade. Even asking the question implies some special relationship of Jews to enslavement. The vast majority of individuals involved in and benefitting from the slave trade were either African Muslims or Christian Europeans.\n\nJews might best be characterized as people largely on the sidelines of slavery, although a very small number benefitted along with the majority of Christian traders and masters."""
