Is Jewish, a Race I know its a religion but I thought it was also a Race?

Answer 1

It is both, The Jewish race is Adams race through Abraham, Issac and Jacob! Now Jacob had 12 children, and these are the tribes of Israel! We could consider all twelve Jews, But especially the tribe of Judah! That's the line Christ came from and King David! The Jews that are in Israel now are the tribe of Judah and Benjamin!

Answer 2

Listen Up one time only if you can't figure it out after this you are hopeless. There are FOUR races on Earth. Asiatic Caucasian ******* and Aboriginal and deep into the 21st Century there are few pure examples of any of the above - - - as for JEWS they are an Ethnic Group with a Religious Foundation, a majority of Jews are Racially Caucasian and their Ethnicity is Jewish. Ethnicity can be Regional or National and can have Components Such as Religion and Caste. Thus you will find Jews who are ***** and Asian. In fact there is a fairly large group of third & fourth generation Chinese Jews, ethnicly they are Jews, Racially they are Asian except several of them who are Caucasian and actually there is a large group of these Chinese Jews who are mixed, they were established in China for One Generation then a Group of European mostly German refugees came through and therein is created a genetic stew. Hope tat clears things up. Peace.

Answer 3

Both R True. They Have The Seed Of The Lord. But After Jesus Died And Rose Again, A New Covenant Was Made And Both Jews And Us Gentiles Were Made Acceptable To God, But Only By Grace Of The Blood Of Jesus

Answer 4

Throughout history, Jews have often been called a race and have even referred to themselves as such. But they aren't a race in the modern sense of the word. This is clearly the case in light of two facts:

1) One can convert to Judaism, and a convert is considered absolutely 100% Jewish. You can't convert to a different race.

2) There are Jews (not just Jews-by-choice, but Jews-by-birth as well) of many different races. I myself am Caucasian, but I've met White Jews, Black Jews, Latino Jews, Iranian Jews, all of them of visibly distinct ethnicities, but all of them Jewish.

Since Jews tend to defy common anthropological definition, we think of ourselves as a "nation" or "people". Judaism is a religion, but it's not just a religion. It's a culture, containing many sub-cultures. Jews have a national identity, but are a nation in diaspora. Nowadays, a Jewish state has been re-established, yet the exile remains. That being said, it's not just an ethnic thing, because there are so many subgroups (when most Americans think of Jews, they visualize a distinctive profile - white, with a big, eastern european nose... but that's just because the majority of the Jews in the States are Ashkenazi... but when European Jews began immigrating in large numbers to the Land of Israel in the early 19th and early 20th centuries, the local residents couldn't believe they were Jewish because they "didn't look Jewish" - that is, they didn't resemble their Mizrahi ("Eastern") compatriots. In other words, the whole notion of "looking Jewish" is a myth, perpetuated by people who have not seen the diverse array of Jews out there.

So, to re-cap, Judaism is a religion, but Jews are a nation. A Jew who practices a non-Jewish religion is still a Jew, but that does not make it Jewish. (Messianic Judaism is in fact a sect of Evangelical Christianity designed to attact Jews, but that's a whole other discussion.) Many would consider Jews a race (I have old Jewish prayer books that use the term), but they aren't a race in the modern sense of the word because one can become Jewish - one can't become White or Black or Asian... The Jews are a nation - I'm afraid that's the best I can give you. I hope it helps.

Answer 5

Jewish is a race and Judaism is the religion.

Answer 6

it depends on your definition of a race... most anthropologists believe there is no such things as races with humanity

but if you mean they are a group of people with common ancestors then yes... they are the descendants of abraham and the descendants of converts who married into the faith of abraham

according to some interpretations of genetic testing ashkenazic jews (who make up about 80% of jews) are mostly descended from the same four women, whoever they were, in the past

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

Jews are followers of Hazrat Moses [PBUH] and abide by Torah the divine book given to Moses [PBUH] . So Jews are a race and NOT a religion.
