A Jew is a person who believes in the religion "Judaism" or shares heritage and culture with other Jews and identifies as such.
Jude in Hebrew is Yehudah (יהודה) which means "praised"
Jude is German for Jew.
"Semitism" does not mean anything. Anti-Semitism is Jew-hatred.
yep,The real truth is the word Jew has its meaning from Judah and could only mean jew=Judah not any other tribe.
Jewels, as a name, has no Hebrew translation. The word for "jewels" is "tahkh-shee-teem", but this is not used as a name in Hebrew.
No, Jew is the noun, Jewish is the adjective.
Abraham was the first Jew. Judah's only contribution was that the word "Jew" comes from "Judah".
No.

When someone calls you a Jew, it could mean many things. They may be referring to your religion or race, so instead of saying "He's/She's Jewish" they could simply shorten Jewish to Jew. But, being called a Jew can be rude and taken to be hurtful. For some reason, kids (mainly) enjoy abusing the word senselessly as with any other racist remark.
Some people use the word "Jew" in a derogatory manner, sometimes in the context of referring to issues of money. Other people use the word "Jew" to refer to persons of Jewish ethnicity with no derogatory intentions.
Not necessarily, but It depends on context. For example: it is quite offensive to use the word "Jew" as a pejorative adjective, a verb or an expletive.
