EVERYONE is a descendant of Noah. His was the only family to survive the food. Noah was not really Jewish. That term wasn't around back then. But some of his descendants became the Israelites - God's chosen people. Those are who we now call Jews.

If you beleive the Old Testament down to every last word, then everybody is not just a decendant of Noah but of Adam as well.
In reality, only some Europeans are of Jewish decsent. It may seem otherwise (owing to the fact that Christianity came from Judaism and most Europeans are Christians) but Christianity only started with the Jews. It was eventually adopted as the official religon of the Roman Empire in order to stop the ongoing Chrisitian rebellion they had been suffering. The Romans (not of Jewish decent) then converted the barbarians (English, French, Spanish, German, Russian) And so, in a dramatic first, a religion expanded well beyond the borders of the race it started in.

There were two races before the flood, those with the prominant brow, and those without.. Noah and family did not have the prominant brow of the Neanderthal.. All families and nations of the earth are descended from Noah..
...If there hadn't been the flood, we would have all been descended from those who did only evil and thought only evil (worse than the inner cities of today.. or rather we wouldn't be around, for humanity would have so long ago perished..
--- Israel was chosen "not because better or worse than any other" folks, but chosen to birth Jesus.. for this reason Israel under strictness (which no human can presently keep) so Jesus would have a place to appear, rather than say, in the midst of tree worshippers or something..

No, Noah is not Jewish.
Issac was the first Jewish person.
God said out of you is a seed that shall be beginning of a nation. That nation is the nation of the Jewish.

No he wasnt jewish. Jews come from the tribe of Judah, they did not exist at the time. Noah believed in God, and that he was one, and this is what he called to, not the trinity!

The Jewish nation began with Abraham (Gen. 12). The nation formally came together and established laws and regulations under Moses.
