1. Question concerning American Jews and the Tribe of Benjamin
Robert Smith wrote:
What do you think of Herbert Armstrong's belief that all American Jews
are really Benjaminites?
To make a proper reply I would have to see what he based it upon.
Most American Jews are Ashkenazim many of them from Eastern Europe.
Among the Jews there were traditions that Benjamin had settled in Rumania i.e. southeast Europe.
The idea also exists that many of the rank and file of Hasidim (most of whom also came from Eastern Europe) were from Benjamin.
For the Hasidim this could fit the character profile of Benjamin.
The Hasidim can be very learned but in principle they emphasize emotional commitment and spiritual appreciation more than intellectual understanding.
The Jews in America however also include those who came from western Europe and Sephardim from Spain and eastern communities.
These are probably not from Benjamin but from Judah and other Israelite Tribes.
In addition to that any Jew named Levi or Cohen or Kahn or Katz etc is probably from the Tribe of Levi.
Joke (first heard from Rabbi Avraham Feld):
Question:
What has four legs and runs after "Kat-z"?
Answer:
Mrs. Katz and her lawyer.

5. Here to Stay. Proof a Day. The Brit-Am Way.
The Name 'Hebrew'
Abraham was a Hebrew:
[Genesis 14:13]
AND THERE CAME ONE THAT HAD ESCAPED, AND TOLD ABRAM THE HEBREW; FOR HE DWELT IN THE PLAIN OF MAMRE THE AMORITE, BROTHER OF ESHCOL, AND BROTHER OF ANER: AND THESE WERE CONFEDERATE WITH ABRAM.
The Book of Jonah relates how God told Jonah to go to the major Assyrian city of Nineveh and there prophesy that after 40 days it would be overturned. This meant according to the understanding of Jonah that Nineveh would be destroyed. Jonah did not want to go on this mission and attempted to flee to Tarshish in Spain. A storm arose at sea and the sailors of his ship realized that a supernatural power was causing it. They threw lots and the result fell on Jonah. Jonah told the seamen to cast him overboard.
[Jonah 1:9] AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, I AM AN HEBREW; AND I FEAR THE LORD, THE GOD OF HEAVEN, WHICH HATH MADE THE SEA AND THE DRY LAND.
Here we have the name Hebrew connected with worship of the God of Israel as if the two were mutually relevant to each other. Jonah was a Hebrew going to Tarshish in Spain. Israelites from the Ten Tribes were later exiled to Spain. They were known as Iberi, or as Hiberi i.e. as Hebrews. From Spain the Hiberi (Hebrews) moved onwards into Gaul and the British Isles. The Celtic inhabitants of Britain were all referred to as Iberi, or Hiberi, or Iberni (meaning Hebrews) by themselves and by others (such as Ptolemy) and the name Iberi (i.e. Hebrew) very frequently occurs in ethnic and place-names of the Western Celtic peoples. Hibernian still means Irish. The Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) was named after the Iberi Hebrews who once dwelt there but later left moving to Gaul and Britain.The Hebrews in the Ancient Middle East (according to the Encyclopedia Judaica) were known as Iberi and as Barbari.
