Are you a Judean? If you are Jewish, the answer is yes! It may interest you to know that the the term "Jews" is shortened from the term "Judeans"! The first 2 letters of JUdean were taken and used to create the word Jew. Someone took the word "Judean" and abbreviated it! Once, all Jews were known as Judeans. Meet your ancestors: the Judeans! The Judeans were all the Israelite tribes who lived in Judea. Judea was the southern Israeli Kingdom which resulted when Israel divided into 2 states 2700 years ago! It was the longest surviving Hebrew State in ancient times! 2000 years ago, the Judeans were ethnically cleansed from Judea by the Romans, and were scattered all over the world. These Judeans are your ancestors if you are Jewish! Is it time for the correct translation? (yes!) In Hebrew, the word for Jewish is Yehudi. Yehudim got their name because they came from Yehuda - in english - Judea. Therefore, the translation of Yehudi into English is actually Judean. By forwarding this you will help revive the true title of the Judean People! Forward this to all your fellow Judeans!
