I’ve come across multiple ppl confused about what Jews are exactly(a race, an ethnicity, a religion, an ethno-religion, etc…). This is my attempt to explain it, do u guys think this is accurate enough that i can tell someone this?

It’s classified as an ethno-religion. It’s a bit complicated tho because it’s actually got 2 different parts, ethnicity and ethno-religion. Think of Japanese Shintoism. Shintoism is an ethno-religion meaning a religion belonging mostly to a specific ethnicity although others can join. The reason this is really confusing to people is because Jews meaning the people worshipping the ethno-religion and Jews meaning the people who belong to the Jewish ethnicity are both called Jews(whereas ethnically Japanese people are Japanese and Shinto worshippers are called Shintoists.)
