Holy McMoses, the clans have gathered at Ben Zion and produced–
A Jewish Tartan!
Available from ties and sashes on up to full kilts (gentleman’s, hand pleated, 330 UKPounds).
For the budget minded, there are novelty pens available for 2.50 UKPounds (2 pens for 4 UKPounds).
And fully compliant with Jewish law and, I assume, Scottish custom.
For over 300 years Scots Jews have waited for their own tartan and now – here it is!
The official Jewish Tartan is an authentic Scottish tartan created by Heritage Experts and Rabbis.
It is the only Scottish Jewish Tartan approved and registered by the Scottish Tartans Authority.
Initiated by Rabbi Mendel Jacobs (pictured above) – the only Scottish born Rabbi living in Scotland, it’s 100% Kosher – being a non wool-linen mix, and as it incorporates many aspects of Scottish-Jewish cultural and religious history, it is the perfect representation of our heritage.
Now, next up I suggest Rabbi Jacobs work on a Jewish single malt.

It still looks like a lattice of crosses like most tartans.

Thank’ee. But be warned: all my blogging seems confined to this one, so my activity at LJ is mostly leaving comments on how to deal with vomiting cats and such things.

Sorry, I don’t know anything more than what’s posted at the link (www.jewishtartan.com)
But you’re in New York! You mean there is something that’s actually not available in NYC?
At any rate. l’shanah tovah…
