I’m not exactly sure what you mean by this, but there is no longer an ethnicity known as ‘Hebrew.’ ‘Hebrew’ refers to the Biblical people who were the ancestors to modern Jews. (I believe they were called ‘Hebrews’ from Abraham to Moses, ‘Israelites’ during the period of Bibilcal kings, and ‘Jews’ after the exile, but if somebody has mroe information about that, feel free to chime in.) In any case, what you most likely ate was Jewish food, more specifically Ashkenazi food. Ashkenazic Jews are Jews with ancestry from Western and Eastern Europe. Most American Jews are Ashkenazis, as I am. These are the Jews that spoke Yiddish, were featured in Fidler on the Roof, and perished in great numbers in the Holocaust. People like Freud, Marx, Einstein, and Jerry Seinfeld are Ashkenazis. Jews from the middle east are know as Mizrahi Jews and traditionally speak a form of Judeo-Arabic. Jews from Moorish Spain, who were exiled and spread to places like Amsterdam, Turkey, and the Middle East are know as Sephardic Jews. That said, it sounds like you ate traditional Ashkenazic treats: the correctly-identified bagel and cream cheese; kugle (this was the noodle thing), and macaroons (the coconut dessert). I don’t believe there’s any special place for tuna in the Jewish tradition, but I hope you enjoyed it, nonetheless.
