Judaism is a religion. Hebrew is the language generally spoken by the Jewish people who follow Judaism.

Rabbi Stephen F. Wise, Chief Rabbi of the United States said, "The return from Babylon and the introduction of the Babylonian Talmud mark the end of Hebrewism and the beginning of Judaism."If one takes the above quote as accurate, then the Hebrew religion is from the Mosaic Covenant and is now called Judaism. The Pharisees put the Talmud together and in the New Testament, Jesus had several comments to the Pharisees and what he claimed as their 'not so correct' interpretation of the Scripture.

The Hebrew religion is Judaism, since the ancient Hebrews were the ancestors of today's Jews, and according to tradition Judaism was founded by Abraham the Hebrew. See also:

Were the Israelites monotheistic

The Hebrew religion is the ancestral religion of modern Judaism, just as the ancient Hebrews were the ancestors of today's Jews.

We now know, through biblical exegesis and through Archaeology, that polytheism was practised by the Hebrew people in Judah and Israel. This, in turn, was to a substantial extent based on the religion of their Canaanite forebears. Keel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses and Images of God in Ancient Israel) say there were no strict boundaries between the Israelite/Judahite religion and that of its neighbours, at the end of the ninth century and during the eighth century. The early Hebrews had one additional God that was not worshipped by their neighbours, the god Yahweh who originally came from southeast Palestine or northwest Arabia, and is evident earlier in Judah than in Israel.

As the early gods gradually disappeared from the Jewish pantheon, the monotheistic religion we now know as Judaism began to evolve.

In English, it's the one that's now called "Judaism".

In English, "Hebrews" are now called "Jews".
