The Book of Enoch was not written by Enoch?

This statement is politically motivated. Today, they say it was written after Jesus' life.
Until the time of Jesus, synagogues had scrolls of the book of Enoch.
After 70 AD, Rabbinic Judaism excluded it. Honestly, I'm even surprised they printed in the Tanakh, passages like Isaiah 53; Daniel 9; Psalm 2; Proverbs 30...

WHY not Enoch?
Because after the life of Jesus, factions rose. Some Jews believed Jesus was the Messiah, while others were obstinately against Jesus being the Messiah. And both ideas were exported to other lands, wherever Judaism was practiced, and where churches began to worship Christ.
Because the idea of the Son of God, the Elect One, the Son of Man, the One Before Time, had to be scrubbed from Judaism.
Because the book of Enoch speaks of Him at length.
CANON
The Christian Church selected the Gospels, and added the Old Testament given by Rabbinic Judaism.

Why did Jude and Jesus quote the book of Enoch?
Why did Jesus call it Scriptures?

As in: "Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God?"
(Mark 12:24 and Matthew 22:29)

Mark 12:18 Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring.
21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise.
22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.
23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

Note: The Book of Enoch is part of the Ethopian Bible.

Jewish People, what does it mean?

Definition Merriam Webster 2026: The noun Jew is commonly used by people who identify as such, often as a deeply meaningful designation. However, use of the term by those who are not Jewish in generalizations about Jewish people, and especially in generalizations about Jewish people that draw on stereotypes, is highly offensive. Adjectival use by those who are not Jewish is also commonly considered offensive; Jewish is used before nouns instead.

What Does It Really Mean to Be 'Jewish?' Judaism is not strictly a race because Jews do not share one common ancestry. For instance, Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardic Jews are both "Jewish." However, whereas Ashkenazi Jews often hail from Europe, Sephardic Jews often hail from the Middle East via Spain or Morocco. People of many different races have become Jewish over the centuries.

Although today Israel is often called the Jewish homeland, being Jewish is not strictly a nationality because Jews have been dispersed throughout the world for almost 2,000 years. Hence, Jews come from countries all over the world.

To be Jewish means that you are part of the Jewish people, a part of "The Chosen," whether because you were born into a Jewish home and culturally identify as Jewish or because you practice the Jewish religion (or both).

What Does It Mean For Jews to Be the Chosen People?
According to Jewish belief, Jews are the Chosen People because they were chosen to make the idea of one God known to the world. It all began with Abraham, whose relationship with God has traditionally been interpreted in two ways: either God chose Abraham to spread the concept of monotheism, or Abraham chose God from all the deities that were worshiped in his time. Either way, the idea of “chosenness” meant that Abraham and his descendants were responsible for sharing the word of God with others.

Who is a Jew?
Traditionally, a Jew is any person whose biological mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism.

(It is interesting to note that all genealogies in the 'Old Testament' also called Tanakh, are given from the paternal side. Why do Jewish communities forgo this ancient tradition? I personally know why, but will refrain to state it.)

It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what you believe or what you do. A person born to non-Jewish parents who has not undergone the formal process of conversion but who believes everything that Orthodox Jews believe and observes every law and custom of Judaism is still a non-Jew, even in the eyes of the most liberal movements of Judaism, and a person born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a Jew, even in the eyes of the ultra-Orthodox. In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being Jewish is like a citizenship. See What Is Judaism?

This has been established since the earliest days of Judaism. In the Torah, you will see many references to "the strangers who dwell among you" or "righteous proselytes" or "righteous strangers." These are various classifications of non-Jews who lived among Jews, adopting some or all of the beliefs and practices of Judaism without going through the formal process of conversion and becoming Jews. Once a person has converted to Judaism, he is not referred to by any special term; he is as much a Jew as anyone born Jewish.

What Is Judaism?
What does it mean to be a Jew? Most people, both Jewish and gentile, would instinctively say that Judaism is a religion. And yet, there are militant atheists who insist that they are Jews! Is Judaism a race? If you were to say so, most Jews would think you were an antisemite! So what is Judaism?

Is Judaism a Religion?

Clearly, there is a religion called Judaism, a set of ideas about the world and the way we should live our lives that is called "Judaism." It is studied in Religious Studies courses and taught to Jewish children in Hebrew schools. See What do Jews Believe? for details. There is a lot of flexibility about certain aspects of those beliefs, and a lot of disagreement about specifics, but that flexibility is built into the organized system of belief that is Judaism.

However, many people who call themselves Jews do not believe in that religion at all! More than half of all Jews in Israel today call themselves "secular," and don't believe in G-d or any of the religious beliefs of Judaism. Half of all Jews in the United States don't belong to any synagogue. They may practice some of the rituals of Judaism and celebrate some of the holidays, but they don't think of these actions as religious activities.

The most traditional Jews and the most liberal Jews and everyone in between would agree that these secular people are still Jews, regardless of their disbelief. See Who is a Jew? Clearly, then, there is more to being Jewish than just a religion.

Clearly the term Judaism refers to the religion. The religion imparted from the laws given to Moses.
In the same way, Christianity is also a religion. With one major difference: Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
Whereas, in Judaism, Jesus Christ is not the Messiah. They are still waiting for their Messiah. As a Christian, you should refrain from reading their Talmud, as it literally trashes our Lord Jesus Christ.

Traditions of Men

"You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk."
This verse is repeated in Exodus 23:19; 34:26; Deuteronomy 14:21

This is where 'religion' and traditions of men swerve of the truth. A simple verse, misinterpreted or else by the Rabbis, causes a whole series of traditions and practices God did NOT command, nor is it in the statutes.

Jesus said in
Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?”
6 He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
7 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”

And in modern days separating the plates for meat, from the plates for cheese or milk products. Not eating a cheese burger, because they 'cannot mix meat and milk products'.
And many other traditions not called for in the statutes and commands of God.
No, the verse literally means what it says, and nothing more.
An affront to the mother goat. Yes God loves even the animals he created, and animals understand more than we think.

Who are 'the Jews'?

A condensed version

Their religion is Judaism.
Both Muslims and Jews are descendants of Abraham.
They are Jews by ancestry (from what was once the Kingdom of Judea), or by conversion to Judaism.

Historically They were 3 of the 12 (13) tribes (Israelites) of the Kingdom of Israel (1100 BC to 974 BC): Judas; Simeon; and Levi (priesthood tribe).
Or the later split Kingdom of Judea (974 BC - 600 BC). They were scattered or captive by invasions after 600 BC.

The King of Persia allowed the captives to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the destroyed 1st Temple.
Then Alexander the Great conquered Persia 330 BC.
After the Romans invaded what they later called the region of Judea, they destroyed the second temple in 70 AD, as Jesus predicted.

Some Jews migrated around the Mediterranean sea, and later all over Europe.
With the French revolution they then started to enjoy recognition (money lenders/bankers), and even migrated to the USA.
Hitler, Nazism, and WW2 reduced the Jewish population of the world by nearly 1/2.

1917 The Balfour Declaration: 1947, The Rothschilds finished the purchase from the British of the initial land for settlements and creation of the Nation of Israel.
Ensued 75 years of conflict between Palestinians and Israelis.
