Great question! The difference is only semantics. People of the Jewish religion used to be called 'Hebrews'.(You might still hear it over seas or in old movies) The religion is called Jewish (we are 'Jews', and it is only derogatory when stated in that context)and the language is Hebrew. Traditional food eaten by Jews is generally from middle eastern or northern european decent. Bagles are probably more Russian (cream cheese is from 'Philadelphia' of course!!)The sweet macaroni and cheese dish is called Kuggle and is also eurpean, tuna is eaten everywhere and I'm not sure about the coconut dessert, could be Israeli. There are many delicious traditional foods such as Lox (smoked & salted salmon, also often eaten on a bagel) white fish, gefilte fish (ground carp w/seasonings, molded into a oblong shape and eaten with horseradish), falafel (ground chick peas and deep fried (Israeli/middle eastern) and tons more. Don't be affraid to try all of them! And thanks for asking!
