Definition for Jew A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Jew: The term Jew, or Jewish, can refer to either a nationality or a religion. In Biblical times these were assumed to be one in the same, Nowadays a person can be one without being the other. That is, they can be Jewish by birth, but not belief or they could be Jewish in belief, but not by heredity. A person can be Jewish by birth, technically a child of a Jewish mother, or become Jewish, in a religious sense, through conversion. From a human standpoint, Abraham is the founder of the Jewish nation (see Romans 4:1). Traditionally, the Jewish language is Hebrew, so Jews are sometimes called Hebrews.
