From the title of the letter “To the Hebrews”, it is evident that this letter was written to the Jewish community. Who wrote this letter? The letters that the Apostle Paul wrote was directed to the non-Jews (gentiles) outside of Judah and not to the House of Israel. The intent of the letter was to encourage the Christ believing Jews in Israel not to despair because the hope for the Millennial Kingdom was no longer eminent due to the Jewish nations' rejection of the Messiah (note Hebrews chapter 11 – the faith chapter)

If anyone prefers to think of it as being written by someone other than Paul, perhaps by Apollos, by Barnabas, by Luke, by Silas, or yet another; that’s fine. Who wrote it is not vital: its divine authorship and inspiration is. All the Bible is for us; but it is not all directly to nor about us.

This book is especially for those Hebrews (Jews) who formed the Israelitish body of Christ  which, later, was united with the one among the gentiles (nations) (1 Cor. 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular) to form the joint body of today (Eph. 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel which is the true Body of Christ, the church.
