Mine is a theological question. 
Many of my closest friends were Jews, though this year I only spent time with my friend for her 80th party in August, and Thanksgiving with another  friend's family (he's the one who likes to assert Jewishness).  Then there's another "friend" but like people, yet another stripe and a person I see too often.  But, none mentioned are religious, so I wouldn't expect much interest.

You're correct, John, historically there were twelve tribes of Jews in ancient times and even today some claim Jewish surnames might mark families as being descended from a particular tribe (names that sound like Levi or Lev, for instance are said to hearken back to the priestly Levite tribe/class) but a colloquialism among (modern US?) Jews is to refer to their fellow Jewish people as "the tribe." I've heard it so often it's long since stuck with me and I use the expression too.

I refer to Catholics as "my tribe".  I was born and raised to it.  The Catholics are mine.

Yeah, I remember you mentioning that.

I thought you were Catholic, sans religion, in a tribal sense.  Irish, anyway.  Maybe the mean nuns you've remembered were Anglican?
