    Judaism is the proper term for the religion.

    Jews is a shortened word for jewish, which can be considered as those whom follow judaism and is most commonly used. Sometimes it can be used as the term for a race.

    Hebrew is the language in the torah and the language of the people. Some people do not accept the term "jew" as a ethnicity and can easily be replaced by the word, hebrew.

    ummm...they're all related.

    Judaism is a religion (not a race btw) that is, arguably, the first monotheistic religion.

    Jews, or members of the tribe of "Judah", are the current followers of said religion.

    Hebrew is either a rarely unused synonym for Jew or the name of the language that the Jews speak and write in their holy books. It s also the official language of Israel: the Jewish State

    this is as bout as basic as it gets. I could literally go on for days, but this much you should at least know for being alive.

    take some time to educate yourself

    Judaism is a religion.

    Jews are followers of Judaism.

    "Hebrew" is both a race/ethnicity and a language.
