Paul is NOT A JEW. Actually, Abraham, Issac, Jacob and even Moses are not Jews!

Which nonCatholic denomination/sect/group do you assemble with ?

Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,) I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

Jews came from only one tribe Judah. Jacob/Israel had 12 sons...In the blessings recorded in Genesis 49, Israel gave prophecies for each of the tribes named after his 12 sons. The 12 sons of Israel are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulon, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph and Benjamin. From each son came descendants which carried their father's name. From Reuben came the Reubenites, from Simeon came the Simeonites, from Levi came the Levites of whom was Aaron and Moses. So you see, the Jews came from Judah. You cannot paint the Bible with a Jewish brush. The church did and hid many of the Biblical truths from the laity...crowd control.
