“Jew” refers to a person who is part of the Jewish people, which can mean:

1. An Ethno-Religious Identity

Being Jewish can refer to:

• Ethnicity — belonging to the Jewish people, descended historically from ancient Israelite communities.
• Religion — practicing Judaism, the Jewish faith.
• Culture — taking part in Jewish traditions, holidays, food, languages (Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino), etc.

Some Jews are religious, some are secular, and some see it mainly as cultural or ethnic.

2. Not an Insult

The word itself is not offensive when used correctly, but it can become offensive if used as a slur or in a derogatory tone. Context matters.

3. A Global Community

The Jewish people exist all over the world — Israel, the U.S., Europe, India (e.g., Bene Israel, Cochin Jews), and many other regions.

If you want, I can also explain:

• Jewish beliefs
• Jewish history
• Why the word can feel sensitive in some contexts
• Differences between Judaism, Hebrew, and Israeli

Just tell me which direction you want to go.
