What is a Jew?

A יהודי is a person who has transformed and elevated his or her inner exile and sickness (דוה) into a Holy Temple (הוד) of the Shekhinah.

Simple.

Note the יהי form of the verb "to be" (as opposed to ויהי which implies anguish) as it pertains to transforming anguish to gladness as described in the kabbalah of vav hahipuch [1] is used to form the word יהודי. In the word for Jew, יהודי, the vav implying anguish has been transformed into a central feature of the [2] Holy Temple (הוד). The two letters yod refer to the soul levels of ruach and neshamah, and to the indwelling Presence of the Shekhinah.

[1] The Wisdom In The Hebrew Alphabet, R. Michael Munk. On the conversive vav (ו) and the verb "to be":

Two very frequent uses of this type of vav are for the conversion of היה, was (past) to והיה, will be (future); and , יהי, will be (future) to ויהי, was (past). In this example of the conversive vav to change tense, the resultant words convey diametrically opposed moods as well. The word ויהי is used to convey anguish, the word והיה is used to convey gladness. Megillah 10b; Pesikta Zuta 6:10
