Noah wasn't a Jew; the Jewish people are descended from Abraham, who was descended from Noah. Abraham wasn't a Jew, however; Abraham was Hebrew, but the Hebrew people did not become "Jews" until the Torah/Law was given to Moses by God after the Jews left Egypt.

Noah was neither Jew, Israelite, or Hebrew. The Jews are descendants of Judah and of the tribe of Judah, Israelites are descendants of Israel aka Jacob. The Hebrews are descendants of Abraham aka Abram.
Noah lived way before Abraham and thus is not a Jew, Israelite or Hebrew.
This is elementary Bible School knowledge. Most kids learn this by the time thy are in the fourth grade.

It is not possible that we are all Jews. Please take into consideration that Noah was not a Jew. There were no such people known as Jews in those days. Noah was an ancestor of Abraham not the other way around. He was simply righteous among a wicked generation. The "practices" or "rites" of Judaism were not established until Moses. Abraham was given pieces of what Judaism would eventually be, i.e. the rite of circumcision, but all the beliefs, rites and rituals that Judaism encompasses were not practiced/known until Moses arrived hundreds of years later.

Thats a delicate question. The Cristian religion developed as a sect of Judaism "Jew." Jesus was a Jew and the descendants of Abraham. Jewish people didnt believe that Jesus was the Messiah and still dont. Thats what seperates christian from Jew. Its up to you to decide if you believe in the Jewish religion or Jusaism. Noah was a jew as well and was just a key player in saving the animals from a flood.

No.. Noah wasn't a Jew. The first Jew was Abraham. The Jewish line was passed down through Isaac and Jacob to the 12 tribes.

If you are a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's three sons, then you would be a Semite [or a Jew] through the lineage of Abraham and then Isaac's twelve grandchildren through Jacob [the 12 tribes of Jacob/Israel]...
Otherwise, if you're outside that particular genealogy, consider yourself a non-Jew like the rest of us. As an aside, the Arabs [or Ismaelites] are descendants of Abraham through his first-born son, Ishmael, who also had his parallel twelve princes.
Peace be with you.

No, because after the Flood, the first Jew didn't show up for about 14 generations (hundreds of years). In the meantime, the rest of the world was being populated.

Noah's son's, Shem, Ham, and Japeth all had families of their own.
Jews are descended from Abraham, and he was from the blood line of Shem.
So, no we are not all Jews. Most European families are descended from the line of Japeth.
