Answer 1
Judaism is a religion
Answer 2
Judaism is typically considered to be an ethno-religious group. It has certain elements that are common to all ethnicities, such as a common language, a common ancestry, particular customs of association, and a view of common historic nation-hood. It also has certain elements that other religions share such as a belief in divine beings and a God, specific divine mandates, houses of worship, and holy scriptures. (Other ethno-religious groups include the Druze and Yazidi.) It is certainly not a race since there are White Jews, Arab Jews, Chinese Jews, Hispanic Jews, and Black Jews.
Some people like to say that Judaism is similar to a nationality since nationality bears many of the traits of an ethno-religious group. Ethno-religious groups, unlike other common religions, prevent a person from converting out. This is because the ethnic component of Judaism ties a person to Judaism regardless of what they believe. This is as opposed to a pure religion, like Christianity, where failure to believe in the Christ makes a person a non-Christian. However, a person can gain a nationality through a difficult process of citizenship-acquisition. This is because the religious component of Judaism accepts conversion. This is as opposed to a pure ethnicity, like Italian. A person cannot convert to Italian as much as he may like spaghetti and Pizza.
Answer:Judaism is defined as both a religion and an ethnicity. It's an ethnicity because Jews are descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives: Jews, despite their diversity, are related to each other (as has been shown by DNA analyses of far-flung Jewish communities). And it's a religion, because Judaism is defined as the religion of Moses; the religion of the Torah, which includes people born Jewish as well as converts.today it is known as a religon personily i consider us what we were 2000 years ago... a nationality
Judaism is generally viewed as a combination of religion, nationality and culture. It is a religion, with a specific view of God, creation, revelation and redemption. It is a nationality, in the older sense of nationality that didn't require that nations have territorial boundaries, and it is a culture, with its own literature, music, language and food ways. The concept of race is clearly entangled in this, but Jews, like many other religions and nationalities and cultures, have long allowed conversion, or in national terms, adoption or naturalization of outsiders. As a result, while Jews generally marry Jews, you will find Jews who resemble all of the racial types people have traditionally defined.

Judaism's creed is the entire Torah. The central (most important) command in the Torah is that Jews must believe that God is One (as stated in the Shema-prayer, Deuteronomy 6:4).
First, there's no such thing as a "Jewish race". That being said, according to the teachings of Judaism, Jews are descended from Isaac.
No. Very few people who are anti-Jewish have any idea of Jewish culture, just a few stereotypes. Anti-Jewish attitudes are generally based on notions of race, not culture or religion.
Christian answer:Jesus did not come just for the benefit of Jews but for the benefit of all mankind-rich or poor, regardless of race. Jewish answer:A regular human being in olden times, who is not part of Jewish religious belief.
It is religion or religious belief. It is not a race.
It's a little of both. The term "Jewish" can refer to either ethnicity or religious belief. There are certainly people who consider themselves to be Jewish in terms of ethnicity, but either agnostic or atheist, and also people who consider themselves to be both Jewish (by descent) and Christian (by religious preference).
The Jewish race
The Jewish race.
No it's a language. Jewish is a race.

the Nazis called it the final solution.
It's people being stupid thinking they are better than people of a different race!
