I have been reading a book about the Early Church and have been coming across the term "Hellenist Jew"... who are they? Do they still exist ?

The expression means a Greek speaking Jew.
They would have been most of the Jews who lived outside of Israel.
Do they still exist? I guess so, but I am not sure.
