God is usually depicted as being an old man with a long white beard.
Well, I'm not and I haven't got a beard.
A bit of designer stubble, coz you have to keep up-to-date to impress your followers, but no beard.
Another thing - forget all that stuff about Gabriel's Horn. I swapped that for an electric guitar back in the 50s when rock & roll first started. In fact Bill Haley has become one of my angels.
Michael was getting to be such a bore!
Oh well, must go. Another prayer meeting to listen to - - - yawn yawn

Tracking one's ancestry back to the ancient times is difficult, and while there are Jews in Israel that their families have been living in Israel for generations (though they are few and mixed with the rest of us anyway), determining whether they left Israel at one point or not is impossible.
Judaism is a monotheistic religion (the first monotheistic religion, actually), and one of its principles is that god has NO formal features.
This abstract perception of god was very unique at the time, and it is known from the bible that the ancient religious leaders had some hard time weaning the Israelites from their pagan thinking of god. For instance, one of the first commandments says "You shall not make for yourself an image, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"; this commandment was fixed in order to uproot the idolatrous image of god as some kind of a divine creature or man (as in some of the Middle Eastern religions).
According to the Jewish faith, god has no body, face, eyes, or age.

To be historically accurate, the Jews were not kicked out in 70 CE. Many were enslaved by the Romans. Interesting fact: the money to build the Colleseum came from the plunder of Jerusalem, and the slaves who built it were Jews taken during the war. Actually, Israel became depopulated in 132CE or thereabouts after the Bar Kochva revolt. Hundreds of thousands were killed then. It coincides with the move of the center of Judaism in the world from Israel to Babylon, as well as the fear of losing traditions leading to the recording of the oral law in written form (called the Mishnah).

I am a Jew and I don't understand your reasons for asking these questions.
My family has been living in Israel since ancient times, with a brief 2000 year interruption.
G-d is shapeless, formless and sexless.

God (Hashem as some call him) was never really seen. He appeared in a bush, and in clouds and stuff. When we were at Mount Sini (Har Sini), God spoke 2 Commandments to us. We only heard 2. It was too good for us, so we begged to Moses (Moshe) to stop it. Moshe then asked Hashem about it, and Hashem agreed. So then, the rest of the 8 commandments were told to Moshe, and then he told them to us. Nobody from the living knows what God looks like.

You will NOT find any jew living their from ancient times because they were kicked out in 70 AD after they refused to accept Jesus. They are coming back now.
Read Torah...... God is NOT MAN..... HE is eternal, Everlasting, Creator of everything and Sustainer.
HE is not only God of Jews but of all Human...... in other words HE is not racist.
