Scottish Jews to get own tartan after 300 year wait
They waited 300 years to have their own tartan, but for the 6,400 Jewish people living in Scotland there has finally been a victory.
A rabbi initiated the process of the officially registered plaid, meaning Scottish Jews can now dance their jigs in officially registered attire.
The tartan, featuring distinctive tones of navy and burgundy, is a kosher non wool-linen mix which abides by shatnez - the Jewish law prohibiting the mixture of wool and linen in garments.
Religious experts and tartan authorities worked together to come up with a design that represent both Jewish values and Scottish history.
The tartan is registered with the Scottish National Register of Tartan in the name of the Jewish Community of Scotland.
The colours, weave, and number of threads have all been picked for their importance in Judaism.
The tartan design features blue and white, the colours of both the Israeli and Scottish flags, with the central gold line representing the gold from the Ark in the Biblical Tabernacle.
The silver is to represent the silver that adorns the Scroll of the Law, while the red depicts the traditional Kiddush wine.
There are seven lines in the central motif and three in the flag representations - both numbers of great significance in Judaism
Rabbi Mendel Jacobs - the only Scottish-born Rabbi living in Scotland - chose the kosher tartan.
The tartan invention began in 2008 when a Glaswegian dentist, Dr Clive Schmulian, sat next to Paul Harris, editor of the Jewish Telegraph, at a charity dinner in Glasgow.

Daughter remembers Rob Ford as: 'A great man, amazing dad'
“My dad was a great man… an amazing dad,” Ford’s 10-year-old daughter Stephanie said, standing alongside her mother Renata and 7-year-old brother Dougie. “He is the mayor of heaven now.”“He was so happy whenever he was with us,” she added. “And he was so nice to us. But also strict sometimes like a dad should be. We were happy together.”
Stephanie recalled one of the last times she saw her father in hospital. “I remember at the hospital he said: ‘Stephanie I may not be here for too much longer. I want you to remember I will always love you. And I need you and your brother to be strong for your mom.’”

Less than three hours later, Mr. Trump revised himself, issuing a written statement saying that such a ban would criminalize only those performing the procedure, not the women getting abortions. “The woman is a victim in this case, as is the life in her womb,” he said.
