Wiki: The word sanctuary is also used for the biblical tabernacle, as is the phrase "tent of meeting". The Hebrew word mishkan implies "dwell", "rest", or "to live in", that dwelt within this divinely ordained structure

They were Israelites, no? TIIRC, Jews isn't really a Hebrew word, and is an English one. Nomenclature *could* be debated, but nobody cares.
