I doubt that any of the present-day Jews know which tribe they belong to.

Are you merely being cynical, or do you have concrete information? Consider all the Jews named Levi, Levine, Levitz, etc.

Most Jews that I have met are best described as "non-practicing;" however, as you pointed out, they are generally aware of their heritage and ancestry.

Cohen and Cohn are also levitical names, as I understand it.

Admittedly, names like Levi, Levine and Levitz are typically Jewish but so are names like Goldberg, Lawrence and Einstein and I doubt that there was ever an Einstein tribe.

The Jewish friends that I know have no earthly idea to what tribe they belong and don't care. Perhaps they are not conservative Jews; I don't know.

No cynisism was intended on my part.
