A Jew was formed well over 3000 years ago. It is one of the oldest monotheistic religions and the oldest to survive into the present day.Their values and traditions have inspired later Abrahamic religions, including Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i Faith.
That's what i think the average 16 year old will answer.
