Arabic and Jewish people are not genetically related as distinct ethnic groups. However, they share historical and cultural connections due to their interactions in the Middle East over centuries. Both groups have made significant contributions to each other's cultures and societies.
Yes, Jewish people can have a variety of physical characteristics, including blonde hair and blue eyes. Judaism is a religion that is followed by people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, so physical appearance can vary among Jewish individuals.
Maimonides, also known as Moses ben Maimon or Rambam, was a prominent Jewish philosopher and physician during the Middle Ages. He is best known for his contributions to Jewish law, ethics, and philosophy, including the Mishneh Torah and Guide for the Perplexed. His works continue to be influential in Jewish thought and scholarship.
Answer 1
The "Jewish Race" doesn't exist. There are 2 types of Jews; those who are Jewish by descent (a trait which is followed through the mother's side of the family) who may or may not practice Judaism; and practicing Jews, who observe the laws given by God to Moses (the 10 commandments) and the other 210+ laws delineated in Leviticus. Some Jews are more observant than others.
Judaism is a religion, a history, a culture, a tradition, a body of ethics, and an ethnicity. It is not a race. Jews are members of the human race, much like many other people.
Answer 2
Quote, from a dictionary: "Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by heritable phenotypic characteristics, geographic ancestry, physical appearance, ethnicity." Based on all of those delineations except appearance, it would be possible to call the Jews a race. Recent DNA analyses has shown that Jews are a Middle Eastern people and share certain genetic markers.
Answer 3
The Jewish "race" is Caucasian (there are only 4 races; Caucasian, Hispanic, African-American, Asian and, to a lesser extent, occasionally Native- American).
Answer 4
They are an ethno-religious group, meaning that the Jewish people are a well-recognized ethnicity sharing distinctive physical characteristics as well as a similar genetic make-up and cultural background. The Jews as we know today are descendants of the Ancient Israelites.
Answer 5
Answer 3 is a couple of thousand years behind the times. It deals with the first type of Jews that were clearly described in the first line of the first answer up above: " ... those who are Jewish by descent (a trait which is followed through the mother's side of the family) who may or may not practice Judaism ... ". It completely ignores those who are "Jews by choice", i.e. converts. Though Judaism does not seek or encourage converts, and indeed discourages them, they are fully welcome if they're sincere and determined and complete the appropriate education and procedure. Note that the convert's 'race' is never an issue. After that, the convert's descendants are as Jewish as the descendants of any Jew-by- descent, and this line of Jews can fall into any 'race'.
One other remark on the Answer 3 above: In enumerating the '4 races', Answer 3 lists "African-American", and this makes me wonder which race would include all the Africans who have never been to America ?
In any event, Answer 3 would seem to imply that there are no African Jews, whether American or otherwise. But I just met one this morning in my synagogue, with his wife and their son. I went to greet him, but had to wait a while, as he was involved in a long discussion of Jewish laws with our Rabbi. There were a lot of other people there who would have looked askance on the matter if Answer 3 had said that our new member is the wrong race to be Jewish.
Now that you mention it . . . I'm reminded that business has taken me to inconvenient places at inconvenient times, and I have also participated in holiday services at synagogues filled with Hispanic Jews in Caracas, and with Asian Jews in Harbin and Hong Kong.
I'd think some of them would also have looked askance at such a suggestion.
Answer 6
The word "race" is not normally applied to Jews, since it is usually used concerning large groups of mankind. The Jews are, however, recognized as an ethnicity, since they are Middle Eastern in origin and are inter-related, as has been shown through DNA analysis of Jewish groups worldwide. There has been an influx of converts over the generations, yet this Jewish ethnicity is still clearly detectable.
Jews are not Caucasians in origin. According to Jewish tradition, there are three races (Genesis ch.10): Japheth (Indo-European), Hamitic (African and others), and Semitic (Arabs, Jews, Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans and some others).
Jewish people can have a wide range of physical characteristics, as there is no single or specific appearance that all Jewish individuals share. Jewish people come from diverse backgrounds around the world, and therefore may have different skin tones, hair textures, and facial features. It is important to remember that diversity exists within every cultural and ethnic group, including the Jewish community.
Jews are not an ethnic group but a religious group. However, Jewish people can belong to various ethnic backgrounds, including Ashkenazi (European), Sephardic (Middle Eastern), Mizrahi (North African), and others.
Moses lived around 1400-1200 BCE, while Neanderthals existed approximately 430,000 to 40,000 years ago. So there was a significant time gap of around 1200-430,000 years before Neanderthals were discovered by modern humans.
According to traditional chronology, Samson was active from 950 BCE to 930 BCE, when he died. He didn't live a long life, so we may surmise that he was born around 970 BCE.See also:

Germans (pure German)thought that the Jewish people were the the reason they lost World War 1. They believed this as:
1: Hitler made them believe as he thought that the worst people were Jews and his speeches were powerful and had a clear message.
2: Jews did protest about stopping the war which made them believe Hitler was right.
The result was Jewish shops and businesses boycotted in the start and more than 5mil Jews killed in Germany due to Hitler in concentration camps
Islam does. Islam does not allow to hang pictures from beings with a soul. It can easily lead to idol worship.
Chris Van Allsburg, author of "The Polar Express" and "Jumanji," converted to Judaism when he married Lisa Van Allsburg, who is Jewish. He adopted the faith as a sign of support for his wife's beliefs and to raise their children in a unified religious environment. Conversion to Judaism is a personal choice driven by various factors such as marriage, spiritual connection, or family reasons.
By most accounts, Elie Wiesel began to study Kaballah when he was 12 years old. Mr. Wiesel has said he was influenced by his maternal grandfather, who was deeply involved in Hasidism; he was also taught about the Jewish mystical tradition by a man named Moshe, a caretaker at the synagogue the Wiesel family attended in the town of Sighet, Rumania. Even years later, after he had survived the Holocaust, and gone on to study Philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris, Mr. Wiesel remained fascinated by Jewish mysticism, and it became a prominent influence on his writings.
Karl Marx's Jewish heritage influenced his later beliefs by exposing him to ideas of social justice and a sense of solidarity with the oppressed. However, Marx eventually rejected religion and developed his own theories of social change based on economic dynamics and class struggle. His Jewish heritage may have contributed to his critique of capitalism and advocacy for a more equal and just society.

The Jews in Sighet leave behind their personal belongings, such as luggage and items that they brought with them on the journey. They are forced to abandon these belongings as they are stripped of everything upon arrival at the concentration camps.
Anne Frank felt conflicted and upset about Jews being arrested for not turning themselves in voluntarily. She understood their fear and reluctance to willingly submit to a potentially deadly fate, but she also felt that resistance and defiance were important acts of courage in the face of persecution.
Elie felt a deep sense of fear, confusion, and helplessness when the Jews were forced to live in the ghettos. The harsh living conditions, overcrowding, and constant threat of violence weighed heavily on him and his community.
The news the Jews of Sighet hear on the radio in late 1942 and 1943 is about the advancing Soviet Army, implying that the war may soon be over and they will be liberated from Nazi persecution. This news gives them hope and optimism for a better future, believing that the end of the war is near and their suffering will soon come to an end.
Elie Wiesel's father, Shlomo Wiesel, was a well-respected leader in their Jewish community in Sighet, Romania. He was known to be a devout and caring man who held important roles within the community.
Tension in the annex was due to the confinement, stress, and fear of being discovered, which led to conflicts and emotional strain among the inhabitants. Limited space, differing personalities, and the constant threat of capture heightened existing tensions among the group.

Read up on THE HOLOCAUST my friend!
Anne Frank and family lived in hiding in Amsterdam, Holland - During Adolf Hitler's take over of certain parts of Europe during World War II.
He killed, tortured and destroyed the lives of well over 6million Jewish people, disabled and some black people also made up this number.
Gas Chambers were set up in Eastern Eurpope - some of the largest ones being in Warsaw and Krakow - used to GAS millions of Jewish people simply because of their faith.
Hitler was the worlds most evil being that ever walked this planet. IT was simply shocking to believe that 1 man could make German Soldiers (once some of whome were jus normal men) KILL innocent women and children and they used the Men and able bodies to make war materials in factories as slaves - while they starved to death eventually.
There are many more horrid parts to Hitlers Germany and his take over, and distruction of the Jewish people. Read all about in the Histor books of the Second World war and REALISE - THIS IS NO JOKE - HE WAS A REAL-LIFE MURDERER OF MILLIONS.
