Yes indeed! I like to say it this way "Jesus only has one bride - He is not a polygamist"!
The Apostle Paul essentially defines what it means to be a "Jews in Romans 2:28-29 - "For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; **but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, **not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God."
Here's Paul again in Galatians 6:16 - "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God."
The "Israel of God" is the Church.....both Jew & Gentile.
