Jews are an ancient people of around 3000 years old. Their history is told in the Bible and its traced back to Abraham of around 1900 BC (before common time era). The Jews have been known as Jews, Israelites and Hebrews (Jesus was Jew however the Jews accept Jesus as wise man, but not the chosen Messiah as Christians believe, hence Judiasm predates and heavily infulences Christianity, but is not part of Christianity)
Abraham
Abraham is one of the first recorded leaders of the Hebrews in the Bible. He was a wealthly man who was called by God to leave his land and move from Ur to Canaan, or Israel as it is called today.
