As Salaam Alaikum my question is there a Difference between the Jews and the Children ? Are Jews a Race ? If Jews are not a Race why do many Jews claim that Jews are a Race ? Also does Race even exist in Science from a Genetic view ?

[h=1]Difference between the Jews and the Children of Israel[/h]
Assalaam aleikum brethren in faith. Could you please clarify what is the difference of Allah swt mentioning bani Israel or jew (Yahudi) in the glorious Quran? And do we consider the jews and christians today as the people of the book? jazakumAllah

The difference between the Children of Israel and the Jews is that the children of Israel are a race and not a religion whereas Judaism is a religion and not a race.
