HaYehudim or I.U.D.M(Hebrew: היהודים, lit. The Jews) is a Israeli hard rock band, formed in 1992 by (now married) couple Tom Petrover and Orit Shachaf, who share guitar playing and vocal duties. The band has achieved tremendous success in Israel despite relative commercial disregard in its first years, and has sold over 200,000 albums in Israel.

The band is known for its energetic, dark-themed songs and loud vocals. Many of their songs are charged with political and ideological flavor though since none of their songs are clearly political in nature, much room is left for interpretation.The band sings mostly in Hebrew, although in later albums they had several songs in English.

The name 'HaYehudim', literally meaning The Jews, was proposed to the band by Eldad Ziv, an Israeli theatre director and musician, and by Roy Zu-Arets, the music producer who produced the band's debut album Metziut Nifredet. Despite being a provocative name the band's members liked it and decided to use it.
