Jewish Scot's Heritage

Not sure if there are any Jewish scots on the board or Jewish ppl with an affinity for Scottish heritage ( like my self ) But i found this interesting and a very nice tartan to say the least

Yes - and a handsome tartan it is. Perhaps in the near future it'll be wrapped 'round me.

I wonder how the "linen mix" will work up? It is quite beautiful...

Not jewish myself, but I appreciate the heritage and the tartan- I am a big fan of blue.

This has been reported before: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/j...ghlight=jewish

I'm waiting for a yarmulke in this tartan - they are due out sometime soon.

Looks like we have almost enough for a minyan.

This has come up before. The claim to be THE official Jewish tartan is clearly spurious. A tartan becomes official not by registration with the STA but by being approved by the governing authority of the body it purports to represent. This has evidently not occured here.

Additionally, another tartan of primarily blue and white is being marketed after having been selected recently in a poll by a UK Jewish newspaper.

My own preference is for neither of these, but for the Gordon tartan, the wearing of which has been used by Scots Jews for decades, if not a century or more, as an identifier of Jewishness.

I am not Jewish *but* have had many friends (including an old girlfriend ) of the Jewish faith.
I appreciate & love the Jewish culture.

And I have to say it is a beautiful tartan!

Just curious....

Would my Confederate Memorial Tartan kilt not be correctly named either? The CS government hasn't met since 1865.

Tongue within cheek,
