    Hebrew is a language, not an ethnicity. In ancient times, Hebrews were the ‘original’ tribal Jews, but there are far too many ethnicities of Jews now for the Hebrew label to apply. ‘Jewish’ food is a misleading term for the same reasons- as long as the food is kashrut (kosher), it may be Chinese, middle eastern, Indian, Persian, French, Mexican or of any ethnic subgroups. There is a large number of traditional dishes that more or less qualify as ‘Jewish’ food, but it’s really the kosher-ness of the food in question that makes it Jewish or not. If your food was at a Hadassah event, it was surely kosher and therefore Jewish enough.
