- 1猶太民族、猶太社群（總稱；書面語）
Jewry means the Jewish people as a group, or the Jewish community of a place or a time. You meet it in history books: medieval Jewry, European Jewry, American Jewry. It is not a word for one person, and it is not how friends talk; it is formal, a little old, and useful when you are writing about a whole community. English also kept it in place names — Old Jewry in London was once the Jewish — where it names a street, not a people, any more. Do not mix it up with jewellery, which is spelled nearby and means something completely different.
組成From Middle English Jewery, from Old French juerie. By the look of the modern word, Jew + -ry (a suffix that makes a group or a realm, as in citizenry).
