ArabJewish

The term "ArabJewish" is not a recognized ethnic or religious classification. It appears to be a portmanteau, potentially combining "Arab" and "Jewish," two distinct cultural and religious groups. Arabs are a broad ethno-linguistic group originating from the Arabian Peninsula, predominantly associated with the Arabic language and Islam, though significant Christian and other minority populations exist within Arab societies. Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group whose historical origins are in the ancient Israelite peoples of the Levant. They are defined by their shared Jewish faith, culture, and history, and speak various languages including Hebrew and Yiddish.

Historically, there have been significant interactions and periods of coexistence between Arab and Jewish populations, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. Before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, large Jewish communities thrived in many Arab countries for centuries. These communities often developed unique cultural syncretisms, blending Arab and Jewish traditions. However, it is crucial to distinguish these historical interactions and cultural exchanges from a unified "ArabJewish" identity. The term itself does not represent a cohesive group or a recognized descriptor in academic, religious, or cultural discourse. It is likely a neologism or a misunderstanding.
