Being Jewish is both an ethnicity and a religion..though when avoiding generalizations..you have to consider the fact that not all Jews are Jewish in ethnicity..and not all ethnic Jews are Jewish

 

[Al-Kashmiri]

wa`alaykum us-salaam.

Nationality? No. Ethnicity however, yes (see above post). And of course, a religion too.

i think being a jew is a religion, because anybody can become a jew. what people mostly mistake about is the difference between a jew and a hebrew, hebrew is the ethinicity and jewish or judaism is the faith. so if you convert judaism, you become a jew although your ethnicity is not a hebrew, but you cannot be a hebrew even if you accept the jewish fatih, you will be a jew but not a hebrew. i hope i answered your question.
