Yes! Very much so! He is still and always will be their Father. From him God raised up the Hebrew nation. the Hebrews are also know as the Children of Israel. Israel was Abraham's grandson. Today the Israelites are spread all over the world and mixed in with many cultures - mostly the western cultures. But the tribe of Judah with a few from other tribes still keep and hold the Jewish belief system. The Jews get their name from the father of their tribe - Judah, one of the twelve sons of Israel; one of the great, grand sons of Abraham.
