The Nazarenes were a sect of Judaism, not an ethicity.
Jesus was born a hebrew, and is beleived to have spent some time with the Jewish nazaren sect before starting his own ministy.
He was both. "Hebrew" refers to the Jewish race; "Nazarene" (as applies to Jesus) refers not to a sect, but to the town of Nazareth, where Joseph and Mary made their home. Matthew 2:23 - And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarene." (There is no scriptural evidence to support the idea that Jesus belonged to any particular Jewish sect prior to His ministry.)

What sense is hebrews critical of old testament religion?
The Book of Hebrews was written to Hebrew people who for the most part had accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but because of persecution were contemplating going back to Judaism. The writer of Hebrews takes them through a series of contrasts between being a follower of Jesus and having eternal life, verses, going back to Judaism and the law and ending up with nothing. A true believer in Jesus will have eternal life after death, but if theydon't follow Him but at a distance, they will not grow or receive blessings, receive crowns or lay up treasure in heaven. In short they will enter heaven by the skin of their teeth. And their life will end miserably,( this is a once saved, always saved idea, but their is a very fineline to be seen).and if an unbeliever is thinking about following Jesus, but turns back from that idea, their chances for salvation is very, very slim. Hebrews basically is saying, "Why do you want to go back into bondage to the Law, when Jesus Christ is offering you every thing? Jesus is superior in every way to what is in the Law. Jewish people will argue and argue, but Christianity is an extension of Judaism. Jews and Christians believe in the same God. The Jewish people are looking for the Messiah, but missed Jesus Christ when He came the first time. Christians are following Jesus Christ, the Messiah since He was on earth the first time. The Bible tells us that the Jewish people will recognize Jesus Christ at His Second Coming and will accept Him then as Messiah. This is the criticism in Hebrews.

When the Bible calls Jesus a Nazarene is it referring to his home town or a sect he belonged to?
The simplest explanation is that Jesus was called a Nazarene because he grew up in Nazareth.Matthew's Gospel explains (Matthew 2:23) that after the flight to Egypt, the young family did not return to their former home in Bethlehem but instead turned aside and travelled to Galilee, where they settled in Nazareth, thereby fulfilling a prophecy that Jesus be called a Nazarene: "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."Scholars have long noted that there is no prophecy anywhere in the Old Testament that could associate Jesus with being called a Nazarene. With further research on the history of the gospels, we now know that Matthew was largely based on Mark's Gospel. Mark, in the original Greek, does not refer to 'Jesus of Nazareth' (as he is described in the later gospels) , but frequently refers to him as a 'Nazarene' (Ναζαρηνοῦ) - although most English translations change this to 'of Nazareth' in line with the other gospels.Mark does not describe Nazareth as the home town of Jesus, but Mark 1:9 does mention Jesus as starting his baptismal journey from Nazareth of Galilee, although this reference to Nazareth of Galilee reads awkwardly and could arguably be an insertion. On the other hand, Acts 24:5 refers to Paul as a leader of a sect called 'Nazarenes', so presumably there was a Jewish sect of that name. Reading this gospel in the absence of the later gospels and Christian tradition that says Jesus grew up in Nazareth, it is open to us to believe that the term Nazarene was a reference to a cult of which Jesus was a member.When the author of Matthew wrote of prophets having called Jesus a Nazarene, his source was Mark's Gospel and his intention was to explain why Joseph and Mary had to take Jesus to Nazareth ("that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene"). Matthew links this description of Jesus as a Nazarene with the town of Nazareth and thereafter uses the term 'Jesus of Nazareth'. In this gospel, 'Nazarene' means that Jesus had lived in Nazareth.
Why was Jesus called the Nazarene?

So, when the author of Matthew wrote of prophets having called Jesus a Nazarene, his source was Mark's Gospel.
