Hebrew is the ethnic origin of all Jews (and a language that was spoken by the ancient Israelites and is spoken today by nowadays Israelis). Judaism is the religion that Jewish people practice, but since Judaism permit conversion- not all Jewish believers originated from the Hebrews.

I don't think there is any difference, except Hebrew is older. They were'nt called Jews until after the Babylonian Captivity.

There is no J in the Hebrew alphabet, the tribe was called Yahdah, and the children of the Father were called Yahdiam.

Actually, Jewish people don't necessarily speak Hebrew although it's the ancient language the Torah (their bible) is written in.

technically, I think freelancenut is correct. But I suspect the terms may have taken different connotations by this time.
