English uses it as a noun: “She is a Jew.” Some Jewish people say that happily of themselves; others prefer “Jewish person,” because for a long time outsiders used Jew as a cold label or an insult. The word itself is not an insult when it is said with respect, but the way it is said matters a great deal.
