Ok i hope this is the correct place to ask this .
I'm just wanting clarification.
in the modern age a person born and raised in Israel is considered and Israeli ..rather generally speaking (i'm sure some other races born and breed there would certainly not say the same )
I always thought a "Jew" is a gentile description given to descendants of the tribe of Judah
and/or people of 'Abrahamic' decent who lived in the "land of Judah"
But I often hear people saying that a "Jew" is one who believes in the religion of Judaism - that doesn't make as much sense to me .
I believe utterly that the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob are alive and well and that God knows exactly who they are .
--anyways , back to the term "Jew" - Derived from judaism the religion -or Judah the people ?
thanks in advance

May the Lord most High ,the God of Abraham and Isaac , bless Israel and do all that is his perfect will in Her and preserve her unto his glory and give her peace -
