>>>Second, Jews are not a race, but a religion and a cultural group. Usually, the only people who refer to Jews as a race are making arguments about why they're inferior or some kind of problem to society. I'll assume, for the moment, that in your case, it's just a language difficulty.

>>We call in there a race as Yahudi (jew), and a religion as musevi (jewish). Is there any mistake?
>
>Yes, the mistake is thinking that there is such a race as Jewish. Jews come from all over the world, and even if we accept the idea that there are different races of mankind (and I've seen some arguments that there are not), Jews come from all of them.

>The words are interesting, though. Yehudi is the Hebrew word for both Jew and Jewish. The Hebrew word for Judaism is Yahadut (clearly from the same root, which is also the root for the names Judah and Judith).

One jewish girls' name I came across that I don't think ANYONE would give to their child now is "Abishag". I can just hear what the boys in school would call her!
