Hebrew

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

The word Hebrew can variously mean:

The Hebrew language or Hebrew languages
The Hebrew alphabet
The Hebrew calendar
Pertaining to Jews or Judaism
The ancient Hebrew people
An Israelite, Jew, Pashtun, Bnai Israel
The term Hebrew is sometimes used by certain Christian groups to distinguish the Jews in ancient times (before the birth of Jesus) from Jews that lived afterward. Though important in some Christian theologies, the distinction is not recognized by the Jews themselves who call themselves Hebrew in Hebrew. Thus, to tell some Jews they are not the same as the Hebrews is likely to be offensive. See British Israelism, Khazars, Karaims etc.
