Jewish peoplehood
Jewish peoplehood (Hebrew: עמיות יהודית, Amiut Yehudit), also sometimes referred to as the whole of Israel (Hebrew: or עמ ישראל Am Yisrael, meaning the overall Jewish people, not people of modern-day Israel, or כלל ישראל Klal Yisrael), is the concept of the Jewish people as a collective and the sense of belonging across religious, geographic, cultural, and political differences. The concept describes Jews as an ethnoreligious group and nation originating from the ancient Israelites and also the bonds that connect Jews through shared ancestry, history, traditions, and communal ties.
