    Bagels, cream cheese, and lox are foods that are often associated with Jews ethnically. They come from the secular culture of East Europe, so they have nothing to do with Jews of Spanish, or Middle Eastern descent. So some food some people call 'Jewish food,' it is generally not appropriate to refer to anything material objects as 'Hebrew.' Hebrew is a language, but the word's use as an adjective is very limited. Many non-orthodox Jews refer to Jewish religious instruction as 'Hebrew School.' The national Reform Jewish organization is called a union of 'Hebrew Congregations.'
