After discussing it with my Shul, Synagogue for the gentiles out there, we have decided that the Dunmer are the most likely candidate for the Elder Scrolls equivalent of the Jewish people.

We hung a god and were forever change, the split between Christians and Jews. The Dunmer killed one and got dark skinned due to it.

We have a number of areas and cities in Israel that have the prefix Tel like Tel Aviv, ergo Israel is essentially the principle seat of House Telvanni.

We have an excellent military, Dunmer get a bonus to destruction.

We were driven from Israel, Dunmer were driven from Morrowind.

That being said my next character will totally be a Dunmer that doesn't do shit on Friday nights.
