ABSTRACT
The Danish term refers to the religion, culture, or community that traces its origin to the ancient Hebrew people of Israel.1 Judaism also refers to Jewish faith, belief, existence, or law, as well as the social and political contexts in which these occur. The origin of the Danish word for Jew, Jøde, is Middle Low German Jode, from the Latin judaeus and Greek ἰουδαῖος, corresponding to the Hebrew Jehudi.2
