So I was baptized nearly a year ago, and I had my Patriarchal Blessing about a month ago, and I, amid the interview and talking about my family, mentioned how my family on my father’s side were German Immigrants during World War II. And that we had confirmed that they were Jewish (we are not Jewish, as that is something passed through the mother, not the father). But that I had researched it and found we were of the Ashkenazi heritage. This all said, I was recognized under the Tribe of Simeon, which is a Lost Tribe, and I can’t find anything on what their responsibilities are, their traits, etc. Aside from ‘anger = bad’ and a lot of ‘when you get mad, stay away from swords’ jokes, I can’t find anything. I’ve searched apocryphal and rabbinical texts as well and there’s nothing I can find— am I missing something?
