Which is the correct term:
Jew, Jewish, Hebrew, Isrealites (sp) ?
and I heard the the Jewish church believes that there was Jesus bar Joseph aka Jesus Christ. Is this true, and if it is what does the church believe?

Jew is a noun. (ie. Hi I am a Jew)
Jewish is an adjective. (ie. Hi I am Jewish)
Hebrew is used in the modern world to refer to a language, but in the bible Hebrew is used for Jews. (ie. Hi I speak Hebrew)
Israelite...well I've never heard that term outside of really old texts so nobody ever would probably use it.
And there is no Jewish church. It is referred to as a synogauge, temple, or shul.
Jesus bar Joseph means Jesus son of Joseph. Jews have never claimed Jesus did not exist but merely that we do not believe he is the messiah. That is your sunday school lesson on Tuesday night.
