Are Jews ethnicity or religious followers? I heard there were a lot of Hebrew speaking Christians in Israel who refused to be called as Jews coz Jews are religious followers not ethnicity
speaking hebrew doesnt mean you are ethnically jew, judaism is an ethno religion followed subscribed only by ethnic jews
It’s both. You can be a Jewish atheist but you can’t be a Christian atheist, for example.
Jews are an ethnoreligious group and a nation. Always have been. You can literally Wikipedia the entry “Jews”
Technically the ethnicity would be Hebrew or Israelite, as “Jew” comes from “Judas”, which wouldn’t cover the Samaritans as Jews.
But we wrongly call the Hebrews “Jews” today.
jewishness is an ethno-religious identity. i don’t know if i’m right, but i guess it varies on the vertant of judaism and the region too.
@epg96 Hebrew is a language, not an ethnicity. Anyone can speak it. It just also happens to be the ecclesiastic language of Judaism. It’s the same thing as Arabic. Plenty of non Arabs speak Arabic for a plethera of reasons.
Judaism is a religion, of which there are followers of a multitude of ethnicities. However, there are particular ethnic groups that are highly associated with the religion, especially certain sects and branches of Judaism.
There are plenty of Jewish Arabs and who speak Arabic, Ethiopian Jews who speak Amharic, etc.
Hopefully that was helpful
Judaism is an ethnoreligion, not a religion, and the vast majority of jews are ethnically jewish. “Jeiwsh Arabs” is most likely an oxymoron
@@hadassaharrel2007The term “Jewish Arab” was widely used to refer to the Mizrahi Jews for centuries up until the beginning of the current conflict…
@@ColasTeam yes, and it is an incorect term. we are not culturally, ethnically, linguistically, or religiously arab, we are jewish.
@@ColasTeamwhat do you mean by “the beginning of the current conflict”?
Which year are you thinking about?
@@tobyk.4911 The broad thing we generally refer to as the Palestine – Israel conflict. I do not mean that the term existed literally until 1948, but rather that the term “arab jew” ceasing to be used is a recent cultural development originating in the current souring of Jew – Muslim relationship from the last half century.
In Assyrian “eawada” means “doing” which sounds like the modern Hebrew for work, and also in Assyrian we say “shola” for work which sounds like the Arabic word “shoghel “ شغل for work
Why is there a number 3
It refers to the consonant 3ayin / ‘Oyin. The easiest way to pronounce it is with our “ng” sound in English. In Israeli Hebrew, its sound was lost and it is mispronounced like Alef. However, Italqim and some middle-eastern Jews have a sound for it.
