No. Hobbits remind me of the ideal of living in the English countryside. Dwarves are more like Jews, but they're still warlike and courageous and do work with their hands, so that's not very accurate either. Wormtongue is probably the closest thing to a Jew you could find.

Correct. They work with their hands, meld stone and iron, fight with hammers and axes, and write with runes.

In Tolkien's writings, the Hobbits definitely represent regular rural Englishmen, more Anglo-Saxon than Norman.
