## Facts: ##
|
|
|
|
Jews are people who are descendants of Abraham's grandson Jacob. The word "Jew" comes from the word "Judah."
|
|
|
|
* People began to call the Israelites "Jews" after they returned to Judah from their exile in Babylon.
|
|
* Jesus the Messiah was Jewish. However, the Jewish religious leaders rejected Jesus and demanded that he be killed.
|
|
* Often the phrase "the Jews" refers to the leaders of the Jews, not all the Jewish people. In those contexts, some translations add "leaders of" to make this clear.
