"Mazel Tov, laddie! First Jewish tartan introduced"

[The Bread Guy]

Enjoy!

Jewish people now have the means of wearing the colours of their tribe, while embracing Scottish culture, thanks to an official Jewish tartan.

The blue and white pattern was designed by Mendel Jacobs, a Scottish-born Rabbi. The distinct pattern, which is meant to represent both Scottish and Israeli heritage, is the real deal. It’s been registered with the Scottish Tartans Authority.

Since Jewish laws forbid mixing wool and linen garments, the navy and burgundy design is featured on a kosher non wool-linen mix. Mike Wilson of the Scottish Tartans Authority helped finalize the design.

“A friend of mine told me about a Polish tartan and a Sikh tartan had been registered, so why not a Jewish one?” Jacobs told the Scotsman. “Jews have always enjoyed a positive relationship with Scotland. It’s one of the few countries where there is no history of persecutions.”

He added that many Jewish ex-pats around the world have links to Scotland.

“We’ve already had a lot of interest from around the world,” he said. “It’s nice to produce a symbol that represents both Jewish and Scottish culture.” ...

Maybe 'cause both could make copper wire by fighting over a penny?  ;D

Just wondering here.

If it is for Jewish people, shouldn't there be twelve tribal tartans ?  [

I have heard that the only person that can make money buying from a Scot and selling to the Jews is a Dutchman, I like that joke, lots of political incorrectness with minimal effort. However there should be someplace to stick Indian carpet salesmen in there as well.
