All Jews are "Hebraic" Jews, because the term 'Hebrew' ('ivri, עברי) is one of the ancient names for Jews.

Hellenistic Jews refers to Jews (Hebrews) who adopted Hellenic (Greek) social and community practices. The primary group that made up the Hellenists were the Sadducees (tsdukím, צדוקים), who have long since died out. For further detail, see this page:
