Actually, all Israelites may be called "Jews" because of the verbal root. "Judah" comes from the verb meaning "to greatfully acknowledge" or "to thank," and every Israelite is a living acknowledgment of HaShem. Note that Mordekhai, though from the tribe of Benjamin, is called "Mordekhai HaYehudi."
I was talking with someone yesterday who was saying that most Isrealis are something called Ashkanazi (sp?) jews, or something like that, and he said they are not real Hebrews because they are from Europe. I’d never heard of what he was talking about and didn’t really take him seriously. Anyone know what he was talking about or was it just a hater making stuff up?
